Activity Map Link name appears in various languages

[karolinar]

Hello there,
I have a page in English language. While there should appear only clicks for "Contact" in Activity Map Link dimension, I can see a lot of other clicks assigned to the same link but in various languages, like "Kontakt", "Contacto", etc. which do not exists on my page. Why is that? Is it possible users' translate the page in their browsers and the results are captured by Activity Map?

Please note, I am no developer so a less technical language will be very much appreciated

HI @karolinar 

as you assumed correctly, this is likely coming from users using automated website translations.

From the documentation, the order in which the link name of the clicked link is determined:

Unless your developers implement a dedicated s_objectID (unlikely) per link that contains the exact value of the original link text, it will take the visible text.

You may be able to programmatically solve this solution by hooking up into the callback the the functionality executes and try to detemine the correct value e.g., from the aria-label attribute. But this will need a little tag management developer knowledge
