Finally, to solve this issue ... I did two things : ( considering there are only 2 languages that are taken into considerations so .. )
1st ) I embeded the js script inside the html page and put in some python codes into it, and also to solve the xml url calling inside the js script ( with condition statements etc .. ) 2nd ) I created 2 xml files ( one for english, and the other one for the french language .. ) so that way, depending on the language of the user, the appropriate xml file is parsed for data by the script embeded in the corresponding view !
