   generateSupportedLangs.js — Script to generate the 'src/i18n/messages/currentlySupportedLangs.jsx' file which contains static import for react-intl data.
 
 SYNOPSIS
-  generateSupportedLangs.js [comma separated list of languages]
-  
+  generateSupportedLangs.js
 
 
 DESCRIPTION
 
   Run this script after 'atlas' has pulled the files in the following structure:  
-    
-    $ generateSupportedLangs.js ar,es_419,fr_CA
+
+    $ cd src/i18n; node path/to/generateSupportedLangs.js
+
+  This script will generate the 'src/i18n/messages/currentlySupportedLangs.jsx' file which contains static import for 
+  react-intl data based on the JSON language files present in the 'src/i18n/messages' directory.
 
   This script is intended as a temporary solution until the studio-frontend can dynamically load the languages from the react-intl data like the other micro-frontends.
