tipfr package: how to write some buttons (request: only pdfLaTeX)

Question

Related of this my previous question here: Search for a package to generate graphic displays of calculators I'm searching to write something as \sin^{-1} for my students similar to this picture taken from pag. 6, of the documentation of the package tipfr.

As all the users in TeX.SE. know, I don't know well the English language , let alone the French language, which I have never studied.

I have done this code:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{tipfr}
\begin{document}
With the calculator push on $\boxed{\text{2ndf}}(\ldots)$, $\boxed{\sin^{-1}}(\ldots)$.
\begin{center}
\Touche[style=second]
\Touche[principal={\Sin},second={$\sin^{-1}$},alpha={H},name=PI]
\end{center}
\end{document}

but I have any problem attached into the image:

(sanserif or other font family), with an error:

Undefined control sequence. [...n},second={$\sin^{-1}$},alpha={H},name=PI]]

How to solve the problem?

Probably you wanted to use principal={$\sin$} instead of principal={\Sin}? This should help you get rid of the error message and also solve the problem you marked with the brown arrow in your screenshot. — leandriis, Oct 11 '20 at 12:14
@leandriis Hi, I was looking your profile..and puff....you are here. I thinked that the principal was \Sin. Perfect....it is delete the brown error. Thank you very much much. — Sebastiano, Oct 11 '20 at 12:16
The text "2nde" is hard-coded, so you might have to redefine the \touche command accordingly. Which of the following buttons would you prefer? 1: https://i.stack.imgur.com/x1hvw.png, 2: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jWf53.png or 3: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7kRUa.png — leandriis, Oct 11 '20 at 12:36
Having had a closer look at the definition of the \Calculatrice command, I think you could use the following to get an output closest to the images shown in the documentation: \Touche[principal={sin},second={sin\textsuperscript{\textminus 1}},alpha={H},name=PI] https://i.stack.imgur.com/jYbqH.png — leandriis, Oct 11 '20 at 12:38
Very kiind @leandriis thank you sincerely for your cooperation and many compliments for your 38k. For "2nde" I prefer the option first image: i.stack.imgur.com/x1hvw.png and perfect the setting of your picture of the last comment. — Sebastiano, Oct 11 '20 at 15:03

In the following example, I used

\Touche[principal={sin},second={sin\textsuperscript{\textminus 1}},alpha={H},name=PI]

in order to get the right button. This is inspired by the definition of the buttons you can find on page 12 of the documentation.

In order to change the text on the blue button from 2nde to 2dnf, I copied the definition of \Touche from tipfr.sty into the preamble of the MWE and replaced the hard coded text. I have highlighted the line I changed using <---- in the following example:

Thank you very much. But you have done a lot of work, to change the France language in English language? +1 and check mark. Excellent. — Sebastiano, Oct 11 '20 at 15:24
@Sebastiano: You're welcome. Actually, changing the text on the blue button was not that difficult, although it requires a quite lengthy piece of code to do so. (Probably there is a more elegant way to do so, that I currently do not know of?) The only thing I really did was opening tipfr.sty, searching for "2nde", copying the whole definition of the corresponding command into the preamble of the document and replacing "2nd2" with "2ndf" in the highlighted line. — leandriis, Oct 11 '20 at 16:12
It is always a lot of work also to search the .sty file. All the best...also for you. — Sebastiano, Oct 11 '20 at 19:36
