This phrase is commonly used in news reporting, business communications, and casual conversation in English-speaking countries to transition between topics or to clarify that new information does not pertain to the previous subject. It serves as a discourse marker that acknowledges the shift in topic while maintaining clarity for the audience. In Portuguese, the translation maintains this function but may be slightly less frequent in casual speech, with native speakers often using simpler transitional phrases like 'aliás' or 'a propósito.'
