Ed at ISI Wrote:How does this plugin work with Google Analytics?
I just ran some tests. As one might suspect, Google goes by what the URL says and can't tell the difference between one language and another.
Even with "Fancy URLs" turned off, the variable "lang=fr" only shows up for the first page viewed. The rest still show the same URL as the English.
I'm not sure how to resolve the issue of tracking the languages separately without getting convoluted.
Maybe abandon the Google Analytics plugin and put in the raw Google tracking code with an if/then statement.... if English, use this Tracking ID, if French, use this other one. I don't know if Google is good with that scheme, though. Two tracking IDs, one website.
Does anyone have an easier idea?
