Spanish term or phrase: ala

Hello. I am translating a document on converting bytes for identication in one system into a different system. One "ala" is 3 bytes = 8 digit integer (it wouldn't be nibble, which is 3 bits, not 3 bytes)

El algoritmo de transformación es sencillo, se trata de obtener dos números enteros de cada "ala" del identificador de X (cada "ala" consta de los tres dígitos a cada lado del guión)

1. Separamos en cada una de las alas y convertimos a un número entero (la operación a seguir es coger los 3 bytes de cada ALA, considerarlos big endian y transformarlos directamente en un entero sin signo:

2. Concatenamos cada uno de los números resultantes de cada ala en el orden “Ala2Ala1” (como si fuera una cadena) con lo que conseguimos un número de 14 dígitos y volvemos a transformarlo en un entero

I have thought it may just be grouping or set??? I would very much appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

I tend to agree with the neutral about "string", which is usually "cadena" in Spanish in this context and could lead to confusion.
