Translation uses the spot in the middle of the circle.
This spot is situated at the origin of the object's local coordinate system. Drag this spot in any of the three editing views and the cube will follow your mouse around. The window you clicked in gets updated continuously while you drag. The other three windows don't get updated until after you release the mouse button. Uniform Scaling also uses the spot in the middle of the circle.
