As far as I know, you can't do it out of the box - haven't actually tried, though.
I would first create a simple rest service in my website that returns the Umbraco dictionary item using a querystring parameter as the alias value
var alias = HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["alias"]
if(alias != null)
{
var dictionaryItem = umbraco.GetDictionaryItem(alias)
...
}
Then call your own webservice through javascript to get the value

No, you can't do it out-of-the-box.
I had to do this multiple times, and the best way I came up with, is to print all dictionary items as an object when the page loads (in <head> or something). Of curse only items for the current language.
So in your source you have
<script>
var dic = {"quantity":"Quantity","totalPrice":"Total price","securePayment":"Secure payment"};
</script>
And then get is as
window.dic["quantity"]
What I have done is declare variable in using Javascript
And for setting value of lang variable from server side.
Now use variable UmbracoDicKeyValue in javascript code.
