I would like to know what is the best / recommended way to set up Google Analytics with a site that displays two languages in separate domains. I have found conflicting information in the forum. Some posts suggest using code with separate analytics properties, while another post recommends using the same property with separate views.
Which method makes sense depends also on your business and marketing strategy. If you prefer to separate the stats for each domain completely, add 2 property IDs via code as mentioned here: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/how-to-add-the-google-analytics-for-2-languages-domains/#post-891674. This method is more asked here in our forum and many clients are integrating Google Analytics and even Google Tag Manager this way.
Google itself describe the way of using different properties: hidden link
If you have further questions, I recommend getting in touch with a certified WPML consulter which offers SEO best practices: https://wpml.org/contractors/
Google itself recommends adding the integration to your site header: hidden link
As next, please try to add the code directly to your Child Theme, as I can't confirm if it works over a 3rd party Snippet plugin. The mentioned Browser Add-ons links this HTTP error to hidden link
Verify your code since this is a non-standard implementation.
We have detected that the Google Analytics tracking code on this page is a non-standard implementation.
Using non-standard code implementation on a page may prevent data from reporting into your Google Analytics account, and any associated data may be considered unreliable.
Solution: Verify that your code is set up properly as indicated by the tracking code given in your Google Analytics account.
If you need further help in this integration, please contact a certified WPML contractor, as custom coding is not part of our support policy.
Thanks. I was able to get it working after adding the code to the header.php of my child theme and copying over new google analytics tracking code.
