I have a few questions:

How will you bring the translated strings back to javascript?

The only working way I have found is to somehow differentiate
translations, which are for javascript and after that dump them in a
javascript array, so that they can be used from the js apps. However,
this involves lots of dirty hacks -- pre/suffix to every string and
string matching.

It would be great if you have a better idea :-)

Happy hacking,
Nikolay.
