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!

%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 »

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 ;°) ).
