Track Translated Websites in GA4

Setting up Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to track different subdirectories through Analytify means making new events that show traffic and user actions on these translated sites.

If you don’t know how to track your translated web versions, follow the below steps.

Step 1: Find Unique URLs of the Translated Pages(Subdirectories)

To make events that work well in GA4, you need to know the unique URLs for each translated version of your website. For example, if www.yoursite.com is the English version and www.yoursite.com/es is the Spanish version, you would want to track the /es folder. 

Step 2: Make a New Custom Dimension in GA4

  • Go to your GA4 homepage and then Admin.
  • Choose Events from the menu on the left.
  • Click on Create Event.
  • Give your event a name, like spanish_site_visit, that tells what it is.
  • Under Event Parameters, you’ll need to fill in the event’s details. Here, you can enter the part of the URL for the translated form of your site, such as ‘/es’. Or you can write an appropriate parameter like translation_lang.
  • Next, Save your event.
