short introduction because I'm new here: Our company uses MemoQ to manage the translations of our software. In the development, we use special phrases to form singular/plural sentences. These phrases make some trouble because the translators are often no aware of the syntax and so, they translate the wrong parts, which destroys the syntax.

Hello,
short introduction because I'm new here: Our company uses MemoQ to manage the translations of our software. In the development, we use special phrases to form singular/plural sentences. These phrases make some trouble because the translators are often no aware of the syntax and so, they translate the wrong parts, which destroys the syntax.
One example for a number of unread messages: {COUNT, select, 0{unread messages} 1{unread message} other{unread messages}}
That has the meaning of COUNT=0 => unread messages COUNT=1 => unread message ELSE => unread messages
Is it possible to lock everything except "unread messages", "unread message" and "unread messages"?
I tried to setup a regexp but I didn't find a solution the lock only some parts. In the tagging filter, groups only seem to work for the displayed text.
BTW: I know that in other languages, the differences between count 0,1,else may not be enough to form a correct sentence.

Changing Segmentation Rules
Jul 10, 2019
Have you considering inserting ">" as a prompt to break a segment? It would separate the string you want to lock from the string you want to translate. I am not sure if memoQ has this capability, but you could then add a filter "if segment contain COUNT/ELSE/etc., then lock."
