Benedict contributed to the HearthSim/HDT-Localization repository by developing and refining localization features and UI text for Arena and Battlegrounds modes. He implemented new string resources to support configurable card overlay display options, enabling users to view card ages, marks, and secrets, and enhanced the Arena experience by localizing Arenasmith features and updating rewards dialogs. His work included comprehensive code cleanup, removal of obsolete localization strings, and the introduction of EditorConfig to standardize XML and .resx file formatting. Using skills in localization, resource management, and editor configuration, Benedict improved maintainability and streamlined future feature expansion within the project.

July 2025 – HearthSim/HDT-Localization focused on delivering Arenasmith localization strings and UI texts across key features, updating Arena rewards UI, and performing comprehensive localization cleanup. Implemented Arenasmith localization for pre-lobby subscription, Arenasmith card info, hero pick rates, ratings, pre-draft panel, and trial information; updated Arena rewards dialog labels and ensured dust rewards display in Arena statistics. Performed broad cleanup to remove dead/duplicate strings in Arena and non-Arena resources, refined UI text for Battlegrounds and Settings, and added EditorConfig to standardize .resx localization formatting. These changes improve user experience, reduce localization debt, and enable faster feature expansion across Arenas and related UI.
