In Google Analytics, what does the locale "c" stands for?

Tags:

Google Analytics displays statistics depending on user's language.

I have visitors whose locale is en-us (english), fr (french), but also c. What does this c language code stands for ?

I took a look at reference tables here and here but could not find c.

Thanks in advance !

What does C mean in Google Analytics?

C Language, to put it in its most simplest terms, is the language used by "Bots". Bots can be "crawlers" or programs that search your website for information. A good example of this is when you submit your site to a directory, the directory will send a bot to gather things from your site such as a Favicon or your logo.

The only locale names you can count on finding on all operating systems are these three standard ones:

  • "C"
    This is the standard C locale. The attributes and behavior it provides are specified in the ISO C standard. When your program starts up, it initially uses this locale by default.
  • "POSIX"
    This is the standard POSIX locale. Currently, it is an alias for the standard C locale.
  • ""
    The empty name says to select a locale based on environment variables. See Locale Categories.

In my case, that was bots.

The network domain was either kimsufi, amazonaws, or not set ....

Always the same pages viewed, and always direct trafic.

If I were you, I would check these other dimensions.
