Google Analytics not working on my non ASCII Caracters domain name

My  Website: http://www.volontärarbete-afrika.se/
Hi. In my domain name I  have non standard UTF-8 Caracters as the domain name is using sweedish letters
I have read that when setting up google analytics i have to use a punycode translation of my URL

In Google Analytics I have therefore added:        www.xn--volontrarbete-afrika-gzb.se

Before I insert the UA number i do a check in google analytics and it says that it can not track my website. This is expected
I then insert my UA number and do the same check and now it says that it successfully are receiving data from my website

I have now waited 3 days and still no data receved.
I have about 25 other websites, all using domain name with Standard UTF-8 Caracters and they are all working

I must be missing something but cant find it

I first tried my site in Joomla and with no luck, i now changed it to HTML.
Everytime I go to my Google Analytics the status is as receiving data.
Website is targeted for Sweeden. I am sitting in the UK

Can anyone advice?

Regards Morten

Hi. Thanks for your reply

Yes I have checked the code: UA-26185461-6
This is what I have inserted and this is the one in google analytics and it says that its reading
I have delteded and installed the code several times, everytime  i got a new code that I am testing with same results. I guess that should not mean anything as long as i have the same UA number on my website as I see in my google analytics account

Thanks for taking time to reply.
It seems like it has just started to count visits after 7 days!!
not sure why it took so long time but it seems to work
Wow, I can't believe it took so long!  But I'm glad it's working for you :)
