Naver
Every day around 18m people visit its homepage.
每天大约有1千8百万人浏览它的主页。
It has almost 80% of the South Korean search market, making the country one of just three where Google is not top.
在国内搜索市场中，Naver拥有约80%的使用量，而这让韩国成为了谷歌公司无法称霸的三个国家之一。
Google accounts for just 4% of searches; Yahoo, now trailing behind as the tenth most-visited portal, stopped producing specialist content for the South Korean market in 2012.
在韩国，谷歌仅占有4%的搜索使用量；目前已经在常用门户网站排行中落到了第十位置的雅虎，在2012年便停止了为韩国市场提供专门的栏目。
Naver also says it is itself suffering unfair conditions in the mobile market, because 90% of South Korean smartphones run on Google's Android operating system, which offers Google as the default search engine.
与此同时，Naver还声称在移动终端市场里，自己才是遭受到不平等竞争的一方：韩国90%的智能手机使用的都是由谷歌公司开发的安卓系统，这意味着谷歌能够以默认搜索引擎这一方式来攻占移动搜索市场。
Despite this, Google has only 15% of the mobile search market.
但尽管如此，谷歌现在仅占有15%的移动搜索市场份额。
Go abroad, go mobile
走向国际，走向移动
A bigger threat is KakaoTalk, a mobile platform and messaging app that, like Naver, offers games, e-books, photo storage and other services, launched in 2010 by a founder of Naver who left the firm. South Koreans now spend more time on it than they do on Naver.
还有个更大的威胁是来自一款移动平台和即时通讯软件KakaoTalk。就像Naver一样，KakaoTalk也提供了游戏、电子阅读、照片储存以及一些其他服务。这是一款由Naver其中一位创始人离职后在2010年所推出的产品。目前，韩国人在KakaoTalk的使用时长上，已经压倒了Naver。
