A Solution to uncovering Bing Translate Widget usage!
-
According to the website: tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ our Bing Translate Widget delays the loading of all page by up to 50%.
The question are, how many times per day is Bing Translate used? Is the delay to the many users, outweighed by an advantage to the few – and how many are “the few”?
We eventually figured out how to get to the data Widget usage numbers, and the exact pages translated from our Google Analytics data, as follows:
1) In Google Analytics, open: Behaviour / Site Content / All Pages
2) Scroll to bottom of page and at bottom right, change: “Show rows: 10” to “Show rows: 5000”. Then wait till page reloads and updates.
3) Scroll up to top of page and at top right, change data range dates from 1 month, to say, six months. Then wait till page reloads and updates.
4) Click on the browser “Find” function (or Ctrl+F) and enter: /translate
Then wait for it to search all 5000 lines. It will then display which specific pages have been translated and how often, and even the language, if you fathom out the short code abbreviations used by Bing.
5) To view the next 5000 lines, scroll to bottom of page and change, “Go to: 1” to “Go to: 5001” Then wait a until all is updated. If you need more than that, repeat step go to 10,001 and so on.
You will need to reset the “find”, else it may hang on the previous data.
Then you will have exact data to decide how useful the Bing Translate Widget is for your website visitors. You may also be surprise and which pages are translated… we were ??
We hope you find this useful!
