    I though I read somwhere that I can add LocalizedStrings to the LocalizedString.Arguments list, but that doesn't seem to be possible. It would be nice to have since I have recursive smart strings that require localized strings as inputs.

    For example:
    "Move {}" with {} being an object's name that is retrieved through a LocalizedString.
    Right now I'm passing in the name LocalizedString.GetLocalizedString() value, but of course this doesn't update on language change. Of course I could register my own callbacks, but I feel like it could be nice for this to be an included feature?

    Gosh, I completely missed that. I'm a bit confused now... why would you not use local variables for anything then? Why is Arguments still a thing?

    It's for backward compatibility with String.Format which is why it's more limited.
