# Default Formatter

The Default Formatter performs the same logic as [String.Format](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.string.format). All cultural formatting uses the Locale from the table that the Smart String belongs to.

| **Example Smart String** | **Arguments**                  | **Result**               |
