framing // formwork

formaletas are a temporary wooden structure used to give shape to poured concrete while it sets in. At least that's what they are here in Costa Rica. I have translated this term as formwork or framing. You can refer to the Eurodicautom; it translates it as ENCOFRADO DE MADERA/METAL

GOOD LUCK!
