English term or phrase: %c key

Dans une liste de chaînes à traduire(Clear Key, Right Selection Key, Left Selection Key, etc.), on trouve « %c Key » et « 0x%2.2x Key » qui me posent tous deux problème... Le texte porte sur un ordinateur de poche spécialisé pour les jeux vidéo et muni d'un joystick sans fil.

Merci de votre aide!

do not translate!!

Explanation:
%c %s etc. represent character or string variables which will be incorporated into the string when the program is run -- do not change these elements!!

For full details you must check with your client if you do not confidently understand such "formatted" strings.

evidemment, Jean-Christophe a raison pour cet exemple : il m'avait semblé superflu de préciser que "xyz key" correspond à « touche xyz »

touche %c

Explanation:
Martn a raison pour les caractères non traduisibles (ce sont des variables), toutefois il est fort probable que "key" lui soit traduisible (mieux vaut confirmer avec le client ;°) ).
