+Heat-Translator
+===============
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+Heat-Translator is an Openstack project and licensed under Apache 2. It is a
+command line tool which takes non-Heat templates as an input and produces a
+Heat Orchestration Template (HOT) which can be deployed by Heat. Currently the
+development and testing is done with an aim to translate OASIS Topology and
+Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) templates to
+HOT. However, the tool is designed to be easily extended to use with any
+format other than TOSCA.
+
+Architecture
+------------
+
+Heat-Translator project takes a non-Heat template (e.g. TOSCA flat YAML
+template or template embedded in TOSCA Cloud Service Archive (CSAR) format) as
+an input, calls an appropriate Parser (e.g. TOSCA Parser) per the type of input
+template to parse it and create an in-memory graph, maps it to Heat resources
+and then produces a Heat Orchestration Template (HOT) as an output.
+
+How To Use
+----------
+Please refer to `doc/source/usage.rst <https://github.com/openstack/heat-translator/blob/master/doc/source/usage.rst>`_
+
+Directory Structure
+-------------------
+
+Three main directories related to the heat-translator are:
+
+1. hot: It is the generator, that has logic of converting TOSCA in memory graph to HOT yaml files.
+2. common: It has all the file that can support the execution of parser and generator.
+3. tests: It contains test programs and more importantly several templates which are used for testing.
