Translate as in:

alert('Hi folks')

to

alert('Bonjour a tous')

?

If so what is your question?

My question is, how do it with php and javascript, but the website it goes
to have many languages.

Thank's.

The same way you translate the rest of your content - presumably through
gettext.

In index.html.en you'd have:

<script type="text/javascript">
var localizationResources = [ 'Hi folks', 'whatever', 'whatever' ];
</script>

In index.html.fr you'd have:

<script type="text/javascript">
var localizationResources = [ 'Bonjour a tous, 'whatever', 'whatever' ];
</script>

In all files you'd have:

<script type="text/javascript">
function greeting()
{
alert(localizationResources[0]);
}
// ...
</script>

The other thing to do is to use PHP to determine the language and
dynamically write the correct client-side script:

<?php
// figure out what language the user is using
if (they are using french) {
$greeting = "french";
} else if (they are using english) {
$greeting = "english";
}
<script type="text/javascript">
alert('<?php echo $greeting ?>');
</script>

I'd prefer the second method because then you don't need to dump all the
localization resources to the client, you only produce the localization
values you need.
