使jQuery字符串加载gettext

Question

I have the following JavaScript (jQuery) snippet of code to load the flex slider in a WordPress theme and to add "prev" and "next" strings:

 <script type="text/javascript"> 
   // FLEXSLIDER
   jQuery(window).load(function() {
     jQuery('.flexslider<?php echo $post_id; ?>').flexslider({
       controlNav: false,
       slideshow: false,
       prevText: "Prev", // String: Set the text for the "previous" directionNav item
       nextText: "Next",  
       controlsContainer: ".home-navigation<?php echo $post_id; ?>"
     });
   });                  
 </script>

The thing is that I want these strings to be loaded from my gettext .mo file so that it loads in German or English when appropriate. I tried by adding:

prevText: "<?php echo gettext("Prev"); ?>"

as it is a php file, but it did not work somehow. Could be a quotes issue or something else. Not sure yet.

How can I load gettext data instead of these static strings?

     controlNav: false,

     nextText: "Next",  
     controlsContainer: ".home-navigation<?php echo $post_id; ?>"
   });
 });                  
</script>

Was a question of loading the proper text domain. Was working with one for child theme and parent theme. Once I adjusted some text domains and turned them into child theme text domains the changed gettext data was properly loaded. I made changes, which were not shown because the parent theme text domain loaded the old data while I added new data to the child theme .mos. All OK now. Thanks @Elliott for his help earlier on!
