GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Portuguese term or phrase: caixilho
Document on standards for windows.
Dictionaries sometimes give "sash" but "sash" is not the entire window at least in those that move.
In this case, caixilho includes frame, e.g., for testing: Montar o caixilho em um suporte rigido, na posicao vertical, etc.
Is there any one-to-one translation or do I have to judge from context whether it is "frame," "sash" or "window" unit?

framework / casing


Explanation:
You could perhaps use " casing" or framework' as you like. Em portuges a palavra caixilho nao tem muita ambiguidade.

sash


Explanation:
Pela definição de sash do Webster, você talvez queira usar sash:
1.a fixed or movable framework, as in a window or door, in which panes of glass are set.
2.such frameworks collectively.
However, frame também é usada, mas frame também é moldura, caixilho e mais uma dezena de outras coisas.
Votaria por sash, mesmo
