You can dynamically create and serve a JS file just like an HTML file, but you cannot do so by putting the JS in the /static folder (unless using routing to rewrite the URL to point to a web2py controller). Static files are served directly without going through the full framework request cycle, so there is no opportunity to execute a template.
One approach is to serve the file via a controller (and cache it to avoid unnecessarily re-creating the file on every request): @cache.action(time_expire=60*60*24, cache_model=cache.ram) def serve_js(): response.view = 'js/%s' % request.args(0) return dict() Then put your JS template in /views/js/, and access it via URL('default', 'serve_js', args='my_js_file.js'). Another option is to define the Javascript variables to be translated outside of the JS file (before the file is loaded). For example, in layout.html, you could do something like: <script> var days_nonSelectedText = "{{=T('Select days')}}"; var days_selectAllText = "{{=T('Select all')}}"; </script> <script src="{{=URL('static', 'js/my_js_file.js')}}"></script> And then in your JS file: $('.multiselectDays').multiselect({ numberDisplayed: 5, nonSelectedText: days_nonSelectText, includeSelectAllOption: true, selectAllText: days_selectAllText }); Another option would be to handle the translation via Javascript instead of the web2py translator.
