If you're happy that your translated content is purely in js, and your
site is completely invisible in translated languages - by all means.

That's fine if your site is community driven, not so if you need
control over the translations.
I think you're looking at google translate like it's a golden bee-bee,
it's not. It's a means of making pages on the web that you can't
understand understandable. It's not an appropriate means of having a
site you can say is multilingual.
In summary: Google translate is a user tool, it's not a web-
development tool.
