 ==================
 
 Localizable.strings parser for Python
+
+# Usage
+
+Install using pip.
+
+    $ pip install localizable
+    
+You can either parse a full string directly or pass a file path:
+
+	import localizable
+	
+	strings = localizable.parse_strings(filename='Localizable.strings')
+	strings = localizable.parse_strings(content="content of .strings file") # this works too
+	
+The output format is an array of dictionaries, in order, with the following key/value pairs:
+
+    /* Comment */
+    "Key" = "Value";
+
+ * `key`: "Key"
+ * `value`: "Value"
+ * `comment`: "Comment"
