After you install ming-a-ling, you highlight "sentence" in this sentence, then right click and select "Add phrase". Since this is the first time you've used ming-a-ling, you'll be asked to choose a "source language" (the one you already know) and a "target language" (the one you want to practice). You can change this later. Let's say you choose English as the source language and Spanish as the target language. ming-a-ling sends "sentence" to Google, shows you what Google says the Spanish translation of "sentence" is ("frase"), and then asks for a confirmation. Click ok. Now every occurrence of "sentence" on this page will be replaced with "frase", in bold. If you hover your cursor over one of those bolded occurrences of "frase", a tooltip will show up with the word "sentence".

Ok here is the main hypothesis and hope: often enough, when "frase" occurs in a sentence you're reading, the context will be enough to remind you of what it means. And then you've done a tiny bit of solid practice. The association between "frase" and "sentence" in your brain becomes a tiny little bit stronger. That's the theory, anyway.

Disclaimer: ming-a-ling currently does not try to do word sense disambiguation. For example, it would translate "bark" the same way in the sentences "That dog has an annoying bark" and "The tree's bark is sticky". Eventually it will be good at this! Or good enough that it's not a major complaint. Until then, you might want to stick to practicing words and phrases that do not have two (or more) meanings that are both commonplace and unrelated. Yes, it'd be great if ming-a-ling always chose a good translation, but it should still be a little beneficial if it replaces (say) the word "milk" in the sentence "Who is going to milk the cow?", with the Russian word "d Dsd DLd T*d DLd Dod DL", which refers to the liquid produced by mammals, even though a better translation would be "d DLd DLd DLdiOCUdidO".

Ok now back to the instructions. Mostly we just need to go over the things you can do with ming-a-ling's status bar icon/mascot (a sleepy-looking letter 'm' with eyes) at the bottom-right of your screen. You can left-click or right-click it. The "Tools" --> "ming-a-ling" submenu provides the same functions.

If ming-a-ling mangles a page you're viewing (it shouldn't!!), or if it's annoying you for whatever reason, you don't need to disable it! Instead, you can enable/disable all translation just by left clicking the status bar icon.

Besides the tooltip feature, another way to prevent ming-a-ling from slowing your reading speed down too much is by telling it not to translate two phrases if they are too close to each other. Right-click the status bar icon, then select "Translate more/less often". By default, there needs to be at least 2 characters between two translated phrases, so for example, if you've told ming-a-ling to translate "sentence" and "long-winded", then by default ming-a-ling will translate "long-winded" but not "sentence" in the text "long-winded sentence". If you change the number to 1, both will get translated.

To make ming-a-ling stop translating a phrase: highlight it or its translation, then right-click and select "Remove phrase". If you click "Remove phrase" or "Add phrase" with no text selected, you'll be presented with an empty box to enter some text.

You can practice more than one language. ming-a-ling will keep a separate record for each pair of languages (source language, target language) you've used.
