Yes. SeaText AI supports multiple domains and different languages. You can use it on any number of websites, and each site can be translated into up to 125 languages. The limitation to remember is the one-account-per-domain rule. One SeaText AI account is linked to one primary URL. If you want to cover two domains, you need two accounts.
Key Facts
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Account-to-domain mapping | One account = one primary URL |
| Multiple domains | Separate accounts required for each domain |
| Language coverage | Up to 125 languages per domain |
| Integration method | JavaScript snippet from General Integration |
| Activation step | Visit or refresh the site for at least 40 seconds |
| Translation editing | Variants Edit panel, select URL and language |
| Security restriction | localhost development URLs are blocked |
Why SeaText Requires One Account per Domain
Each SeaText AI account is tied to a single primary URL. That mapping is the foundation of the platform. It lets the system know which website a visitor is on and which version of the page should be shown.
The primary URL is the exact website address used as the anchor for that account. When a visitor lands on that domain, SeaText can connect the session to the right account. This is why one account cannot be shared across two primary URLs.
The one-account-per-domain design also protects your content. The installation process is secure, and the AI remains inert until activated. Traffic and variants are linked to one domain, so settings from one site do not leak into another.
Suppose you run a development domain and a production domain. They are two different websites. If both used the same account, the AI could not reliably associate traffic with the right site. That is why SeaText says you must create separate accounts for each domain.
Think of each SeaText account as a key. The key only fits the door it was made for. A different door needs a different key. This rule keeps every domain clean and predictable.
How Per-Domain JavaScript Integration Works
Integration follows the same routine for every domain. You create an account, set the primary URL, and install a JavaScript snippet. The snippet comes from the General Integration page.
- Create a SeaText AI account for the domain you want to optimize.
- Set that domain as the primary URL.
- Copy the JavaScript code from the General Integration section.
- Paste the code into every page on that domain. If you use WPEngine, install the WP Engine plugin and apply it across all pages.
- Visit or refresh the website several times. Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds.
- Wait at least five minutes. Your website name should appear next to the SEATEXT logo at the top of the integration page.
- Go to the Main AI Hub and activate the AI on the pages you want. Use Configuration to adjust the AI parameters.
Why does the 40-second visit matter? The AI needs a real session to link traffic to your account. This step is part of the activation process, not a formality.
Each domain follows this process separately. A French domain, an English domain, and a staging domain each need their own integration.
Managing Language Variants per Domain
SeaText AI can translate every page, headline, button, and offer into up to 125 languages. It preserves brand context and optimizes translated copy so visitors in new markets can understand the page. The translation system works per account, so each domain gets its own set of variants.
Open the left panel in your SeaText account and click Variants Edit. Select the URL and the language you want to review. From there you can review, create, or manually edit translations for your variants.
This matters when your domains serve different markets. A German domain might need German as the base language and English as a variant. A US domain might need English as the base and Spanish as a variant. Both domains can use the same 125-language catalog, but the choices are independent.
Because variants are stored by domain, you can fine-tune tone, offers, and keywords for each market. You are not forced to use one global translation set across all websites.
The translation agent is designed for control. It does not simply replace words. You can approve the automatic translations or manually edit them before they go live.
Trade-offs of Separate Accounts
Separate accounts give you clean boundaries, but they create a few trade-offs.
First, you will manage more than one account. There is no shared account that covers all domains in one view.
Second, settings do not carry over automatically. You need to set up integration, activation, and variants for each account.
Third, you may need to check pricing for multiple accounts. SeaText's pricing page is the right place to confirm whether your plan supports more than one account.
Most teams find the trade-off acceptable. It keeps a staging site from polluting a production site. It also lets a multi-brand company keep language variants separate.
Decision criteria: use separate accounts when the domains are truly different websites. Use one account only when you stay within one primary URL.
Practical scenario: an international ecommerce brand with a US domain and a French domain. Create one account for the US site and another for the French site. Enable the languages each market needs.
Practical scenario: a business with a staging domain and a live domain. Separate accounts prevent test traffic from creating variants that appear on the live site.
Troubleshooting Activation Issues
Activation does not always happen on the first try. The source guide lists specific checks.
- Did you visit or refresh the site several times? One page load is not enough. Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds.
- Did you wait at least five minutes? The site name must appear next to the SEATEXT logo at the top of the integration page.
- Are you using localhost? Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons. Use a real, valid domain.
- Are you using a dynamic development domain? It may not work because SeaText might not be able to reliably associate traffic with your account.
- Did you add the code to every page? Missing pages will not be optimized.
These checks solve most activation problems. If the site name never appears after 10 minutes, contact support immediately. That may indicate an installation issue on your platform.
Follow-up Questions
- Can I use SeaText AI on multiple domains with different languages? Yes. Create a separate account for each domain and enable the languages you need.
- How many languages does SeaText support? Up to 125 languages per domain.
- Do I need a separate account for each domain? Yes. Each account is linked to a single primary URL.
- Where do I find the JavaScript snippet? On the General Integration page.
- Can I edit automatic translations? Yes. Open Variants Edit, select the URL and language, and review or edit variants.
- Will settings sync between accounts? No. Configure each account separately.
- Is localhost allowed? No. Use a real, publicly reachable domain.
- What should I do if activation fails? Check the 40-second visit, wait five minutes, and confirm the script is on all pages. Contact support after 10 minutes if needed.
