    It seems that when formatting numbers, dates, etc., passed as parameters, the CultureInfo of the system is always being used (when using a "Localize String Event" component or LocalizedString.GetLocalizedString), instead of the one for the curently selected locale, is that right? It seems counterintuitive, since the formats of the arguments wouldn't match the actual language of the text.

    For example, if I have an entry with the text "{0:d}" and I pass the current date, I would expect to get "11/17/2020" for English and "17/11/2020" for Spanish, regardless of the system culture.

    Ah yes, this is something we are working on at the moment. We have a whole load of Smart String improvements in the next version :)
