    Hi,

    We developed a system which synchronizes localizations from our database with the Unity's localization system. Currently, we check "IsSmart" for all entries to avoid confusion and make it simple. I wonder is there a performance penalty for marking as "Smart" even if the string is not smart?

    Thanks.

    Yes there will be. We have to parse the string to identify the placeholders and then format them even if no arguments are provided.
    It may not be a big difference if it's just a single literal string but it will be more than if it was not marked smart.
