+# Fluent
+
+`fluent-rs` is a Rust implementation of [Project Fluent][], a localization
+framework designed to unleash the entire expressive power of natural language
+translations.
+
+[![crates.io](https://meritbadge.herokuapp.com/fluent)](https://crates.io/crates/fluent)
+[![Build and test](https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent-rs/workflows/Build%20and%20test/badge.svg)](https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent-rs/actions?query=branch%3Amaster+workflow%3A%22Build+and+test%22)
+[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/projectfluent/fluent-rs/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/projectfluent/fluent-rs?branch=master)
+
+Project Fluent keeps simple things simple and makes complex things possible.
+The syntax used for describing translations is easy to read and understand. At
+the same time it allows, when necessary, to represent complex concepts from
+natural languages like gender, plurals, conjugations, and others.

+
+Usage
+-----
+
+```rust
+use fluent::{FluentBundle, FluentResource};
+use unic_langid::langid;
+
+fn main() {
+ let ftl_string = "hello-world = Hello, world!".to_owned();
+ let res = FluentResource::try_new(ftl_string)
+ .expect("Failed to parse an FTL string.");
+
+ let langid_en = langid!("en-US");
+ let mut bundle = FluentBundle::new(vec![langid_en]);
+
+ bundle.add_resource(&res)
+ .expect("Failed to add FTL resources to the bundle.");
+
+ let msg = bundle.get_message("hello-world")
+ .expect("Message doesn't exist.");
+ let mut errors = vec![];
+ let pattern = msg.value
+ .expect("Message has no value.");
+ let value = bundle.format_pattern(&pattern, None, &mut errors);
+
+ assert_eq!(&value, "Hello, world!");
+}
+```
+
+
+Status
+------
+
+The implementation is in pre-1.0 mode and supports Fluent Syntax 1.0, and
+Fluent API 0.14.. Consult the [list of milestones][] for more information about
+release planning and scope.
+
+`FluentBundle`, which is the main struct at the moment, is intended to remain
+a low level API.
+There is a number of higher level APIs like [fluent-resmgr][] and
+[fluent-fallback][] intended to wrap around it and provide better ergonomics
+for bindings and direct usage.
+Those higher level APIs are not mature yet enough to be included in this package,
+but will get added once they are.

+
+
+Learn the FTL syntax
+--------------------
+
+FTL is a localization file format used for describing translation resources.
+FTL stands for _Fluent Translation List_.
+
+FTL is designed to be simple to read, but at the same time allows to represent
+complex concepts from natural languages like gender, plurals, conjugations, and
+others.
+
+ hello-user = Hello, { $username }!
+
+[Read the Fluent Syntax Guide][] in order to learn more about the syntax. If
+you're a tool author you may be interested in the formal [EBNF grammar][].
