I did the following to localize JavaScript for a mobile app running HTML5:

1.Created a set of resource files for each language calling them like "en.js" for English. Each contained the different strings the app as follows:

        var localString = {
        appName: "your app name",
        message1: "blah blah"
      };

2.Used Lazyload to load the proper resource file based on the locale language of the app: https://github.com/rgrove/lazyload

3.Pass the language code via a Query String (As I am launching the html file from Android using PhoneGap)

4.Then I wrote the following code to load dynamically the proper resource file:

var lang = getQueryString("language");
localization(lang);
function localization(languageCode) {
    try {
        var defaultLang = "en";
        var resourcesFolder = "values/";
        if(!languageCode || languageCode.length == 0)
            languageCode = defaultLang;
        // var LOCALIZATION = null;
        LazyLoad.js(resourcesFolder + languageCode + ".js", function() {
            if( typeof LOCALIZATION == 'undefined') {
                LazyLoad.js(resourcesFolder + defaultLang + ".js", function() {
                    for(var propertyName in LOCALIZATION) {
                        $("#" + propertyName).html(LOCALIZATION[propertyName]);
                    }
                });
            } else {
                for(var propertyName in LOCALIZATION) {
                    $("#" + propertyName).html(LOCALIZATION[propertyName]);
                }
            }
        });
    } catch (e) {
        errorEvent(e);
    }
}
function getQueryString(name)
{
  name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
  var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";
  var regex = new RegExp(regexS);
  var results = regex.exec(window.location.href);
  if(results == null)
    return "";
  else
    return decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
}

5.From the html file I refer to the strings as follows:

    span id="appName"
