Any idea how to localize JavaScript texts?

I think I need

generate some js code with objects/dictionaries (similar to web2py language files)

and make a function which will seek in this dictionaries.

Maybe gettext already has some support for this.

That leads me to the question if I should prefer web2py translation system or gettext at all?

Do it the same way the welcome application does in web2py_ajax.html

Thanks, that is not bad (and not good, but not bad).

All, Ok I think this would help my situation, but I am missing how to execute the Ajax. I have four views that contain the same javascript and would really like to move to the static js folder, but the javascript requires elements passed to the views from the controllers. The "Drawtext" items surrounded by {{ }} are causing my issue. I have attached one of the current views showing what I am dealing with.
