# LocalVariables

> The local variables that Smart String placeholders resolve against when this string is formatted.

## Definition

* **Type:** Property
* **Namespace:** [Unity.Localization](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.LocalizationRuntimeModule

```csharp
public LocalVariablesGroup LocalVariables { get; }
```

### Remarks

Placeholders such as `{score}` look up values in this [LocalVariablesGroup](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/localvariablesgroup.md) during formatting. A nested [LocalizedString](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/localization/localizedstring.md) also reads the variables of the string that contains it (a chained scope).
