window pane OR wipe Explanation: I am assuming that you are dealing with "volet" in the sense of the first definition, window pane, below, as it is more likely to fit with what I surmise from your other queries. But I am also including the second one, in case your context indicates that it might have to do with switching images on screen (wipe). How much more of this translation do you have, and... will you be returning soon to distribute KudoZ to all the earnest folks who've been helping you out?

panel, pane, frame Explanation: Hi Bear. It basically depends on who you talk to :) Some people in the field like to call them panels, some call them panes (this is the term given also by the GDT), and others call them frames (used also by Microsoft). They are the parts of a window. For example, if you have Internet Explorer and you click on the menu-bar item "Search", you will get a new "volet" on the left side of your screen, where you'll do your search.
