Resource Languages values in external javascript file

Question

What is the best approach to have Resource Multi-Language values in an external JS file?

I found different approaches but I can't put them in external JS file, and I would like to get feedback:

1º var in the View

<script> var buttonLabel = @Resources.MapCenterButtonTitle</script>

2º Hidden Input in the View

@Html.Hidden("buttonLabel", Resources.MapCenterButtonTitle)

3º I tried this one https://stackoverflow.com/a/6217109/1480877 but it does not allow Resource values in const var

4º Any other that could be better then those.

Thanks

You can make the JavaScript an ashx and do the replacements in the file. — epascarello

I do it this way:

script file:

function InitSomething(resources){

}

view:

@{
    var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
    var resources = serializer.Serialize(new { buttonLabel = Resources.MapCenterButtonTitle });
}

<script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("src")" onload="InitSomething(@resources)"></script>
