I think the one time I've been involved with something like this
(using php & smarty) we ended up serving a language.js file as a
php/smarty file. i.e. using the same system as the html. Would look
like:

language.js:

var WELCOME_MESSAGE = {__($welcome_message)}

main.js file:

alert(WELCOME_MESSAGE);
