San Francisco (IDGNS) - Google is testing a new homepage design in Taiwan and Hong Kong that takes advantage of faster broadband speeds in those markets, one of the company's founders said Thursday.

Google的一位创始人在周四透露公司正在测试中国台湾和中国香港的新首页，以在这些市场上提高更快的带宽。

"We're actually now experimenting with trying new kinds of homepages, for example in Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, that are a completely different type than we've tried before on our U.S. site as well as our European sites," Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google and the company's president of technology, speaking to investors during a conference call.

“我们正在试验着把韩国、中国台湾、中国香港等地区的新首页，并且和以前的美国页面、欧洲页面大不相同。”Google创始人之一，公司技术总裁布林在一个电话会议上向投资者透露。

Google announced the new design for its South Korean Web site in May, during a keynote speech by Chairman and CEO Eric Schmidt at the Seoul Digital Forum. The site's new design ditches Google's famously clean homepage design, adding a row of icons above the search bar and a row of animated icons below it.

Google在五月的韩国电子数码论坛上，有公司总裁和首席执行官Eric宣布它的韩国新页面设计。网页的新设计延续了Google著名的简约页面设计，在搜索条上添加了一排图标，并且在之下加上了一排动态的图标。

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, Google is experimenting with a new design for its iGoogle personalized homepage service.

在中国香港和中国台湾，Google正试验着为iGoogle的个性化首页服务设计一个新的方案。

The default version of the iGoogle: Taiwan Home site has a search bar at the top of the screen. Below that, the screen is divided into five boxes with content, including four boxes that offer tabbed views: Google News, Google Trends, Personal Tools, and Frequently Used Tools. The fifth box includes a row of animated icons for Google services, such as Picasa and Blogger.

iGoogle的默认版本是：中国台湾的首页有一个搜索条在屏幕的顶部。在之下，屏幕按照内容被分为五个部分，包括四个盒子提供标签式的界面：Google新闻、Google趋势、个人工具和常用工具。第五个盒子包含一排Google其他服务的动态图标，例如：Picasa（图片相册服务）、Blogger（博客服务）。

The iGoogle: Hong Kong Home site shares the same design as the Taiwanese version, but offers the option of having some English-language content .

iGoogle：中国香港的页面版本和中国台湾的页面大致相同，但是提供含有一些英语内容的选项。

The classic version of Google's main Web site is still available for its Hong Kong and Taiwan sites.

Google香港和Google台湾的经典主页仍然可以使用。

"We think [the new design] will be more appropriate for the local cultures, and their context, and their broadband connections, which, for example in Korea, are extraordinarily fast," Brin said, adding that response to the new site designs had been "quite positive."

“我们想新的设计将会更加适应本地文化、本地背景和更广泛的连接，例如韩国的页面，显示格外的快速。”布林补充说明新的页面会很实际化。
