Hesperides is an adaptation of Didier Willis' Dragon Flame, a sindarin (the grey-elven language, invented by J.R.R. Tolkien) dictionary, to Mac OS X.

So, Mac Lovers can now be lambendili too : Hesperides integrates Didier's sindarin dictionary, distributed on his web site as a XML file, with a state-of-the-art Mac OS X interface and the Narmacil engine (to display the words using Tengwar).

What's New:
Major architecture changes : Hesperides now supports AppleScript.
Hesperides can now transcribe English words to Tengwar.
Fixed major encoding problems in the Tengwar transcription (which turned out to be wrong for words with diacritics).
Changed the indexing mechanism : the first launch will be really slow, but next ones should be as fast or faster than on 1.1
