touche dièse longue

pound key, AKA 'hash key' has the symbol '#' and is known as 'touche dièse' in French. I assume 'long...' refers to the double ## in the source text - although it might also just mean that this key is physically elongated...

déconnexion par double touche dièse

Useful for instance when using a pre-paid phone card, it allows to start a new call without entering again the complete card details.
Example sentence:

Si vous souhaitez effectuer un 2ème appel à la fin du premier, ou refaire une tentative si le premier appel n'a pas abouti, il vous suffit d'appuyer 2 fois sur la touche # (DIESE) de votre téléphone, vous obtiendrez de nouveau la tonalité et pourre

Peer comment(s):
neutral Jennifer Levey : That's the right idea, certainly, but the source text makes no mention of hitting the # key twice.
