Can I prepare translations and variants before my site is publicly live or does SEATEXT AI require the domain to be active first?

You can prepare translations and variants in SEATEXT AI once the account is linked to a reachable domain, but local or localhost domains are restricted so a publicly reachable staging domain is preferable. The platform provides initial automatic translations which you can review in Variants Edit and refine before wide activation. Since the AI remains inactive until you enable it you can safely prepare and test variants before rolling them into live experiments. Using a valid staging domain ensures SEATEXT AI can properly associate content and make the review workflow functional.
