The pane on the right-hand side is the Resources pane. This is where you will find resources to help you translate, like a machine translation of the current segment, similar translation memories, dictionary/terminology entries, and notes left by other translators.
You can drag and drop resources from the Resource Pane, or use Quick Keys to quickly navigate through and use resources.
