¡Hola!, Leandro:

These meanings are in our dictionary in the definition of "parte";

•por una parte… por otra parte… -> on the one hand… on the other (hand)…

•por otra parte -> what is more, besides (además).

Is there any help for you in these meanings?

Muchos saludos/Best regards,

Moe

Is when you want to say something that is not related.

El idioma inglés es muy útil y necesario para la comunicación. Por otra parte, muchos poetas como Shakespeare han mostrado lo bello que puede ser.
