I'm not sure about this. We used to launch a separate window when opening the
translation editor. I don't think a web application should go grabbing extra
tabs for
itself without the user's say-so (eg shift-click, middle click). If we force a
new
tab, the user doesn't get a choice.

My thoughts on this:
I think the 'Translation Workspace' is very much a new workflow starting, and
as
such, it makes sense to open it in a new window/tab. If we were to keep it in
the
same window, it should look and act like the rest of the application. It
doesn't, and
rightfully shouldn't as it has different requirements in terms of screen real
estate.
This behavior is consistent with other similar applications.

Hi, the selenium does not support target="_blank" attribute in <a>. thus tests
with
selenium-RC (which will then be integrated with hudson) break.
I agree with Sean, it's better to let users choose whether he/she want to
stay/new
tab as background/new tab as a foreground.
But, if the final decision is keeping the "new tab" behaviour, then please use
javascript window.open(URL, name). I can then trace the new tab/window with
name.

In addition, if, say, a user launches an ja_JP. Later on, if that user click the
launch translation editor again, using window.open(URL, name) ensures the
content is
replaced in existing window; while target="_blank" will open yet another
confusing
window/tab.
