The Google Analytics module 7.x-1.3+ integrates with Variables module. It is possible to create additional Web Property values for the contexts provided in a given Variable Realm. Examples include:

• Variable Translation (i18n) allows setting a Web Property ID per language.
• OG Variables permits settings Web Property IDs in an OG Context.
• Domain Variable permits settings the Web Property ID for a combination of domains and languages
• If logic beyond these modules is necessary, one can create their own Variable realm and corresponding class/methods.
