Beebox Translation Console: Pressing this tab would open the main screen of AEM connector which let's user to complete translation workflow i.e. sending items for quotation, sending items for translation, retrieving and importing translations back after translation.
Polling Management Console: This screen is basically for the administrator users only to select the Frequency (in seconds) for receiving Quotation and translation import background jobs.

Polling configuration (optional)

It is possible to configure the frequency for receiving Quotation and translation import background jobs.

By default, the connector is configured to retrieve:

The translations every 30 minutes (1800 seconds).

To change time interval for any of these jobs, use the Polling Management Console, select the job and press Edit and finally change the update interval as shown below and press Ok.
