Hi People,

how would you translate the word "enclosure" into Spanish for Latin America?

My client suggested "Estructura" and I used "carcasa" but something is wrong with both terms...

Thank you

I understood "enclosure" as something that comes within an envelope, like a letter, could you give further context?

Hi Veronica,

Yes, sorry about the lack of context. I was translating a brochure for an Apple system, a whole system for servers.
In this case, "enclosure" refers to the outside metal box that covers all the equipment. Is the case of the PC.

thank you

I would say la cubierta as it is the outside structure.

armaz�n o revestimiento externo o directamente
caja protectora externa, o armaz�n externo que cubre .....
