I am very new at PPAPI. I have already written a plugin to launch client's applications e.g. Word in my web based application using NPAPI (using a Java applet). Now I want to do that using PPAPI. Any chances?
Thanks

PPAPI is not a solution for what you are trying to do. You should look at Native Messaging (see this question for example).

Is there any method to get information from operating system in browser by using js?
like python:
os.path.dirname
Navigator for device and os details and configuration. You could use the keys as you wish
navigator.platform
Yes there is, it can be accessed through the navigator object but it can be very sophisticated to extract these informations, so consider using a library like bowser.js

I am building an Android app that communicates with a third-party API. On POST request from my app, some user information (sensitive) must be tokenized -- using functions from a Javascript library provided by the API developers.
My question is, is there any way to use this Javascript library in-app? The only solution I can think of is to set up my own remote server to handle the JS. This seems like a lot of hassle to handle one simple use-case. Is there any way to do this without setting up an outside server?
Thanks.

Is there a way to enforce browser or web page to use 3G network ( not Wi-Fi ). I don't want to use any native code, I have to do this in JavaScript code.
It's not so simple at the moment. The browser would have to give out that information. Firefox started recently an experimental feature which allows this via the navigator DOM object, but it's the only browser that supports it so far.
Check out navigator.connection.

I need to internationalise the javascript messages in the frontend, I'm using play framework 2.2.1, for backend messages I followed this: http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.0.x/ScalaI18N
But I could not find anything for frontend, any ideas? Thanks!
Play has no native support for JS internationalization, anyway you can easily do it yourself using common JS files containing objects with labels + small method for finding proper translation.
Check this answer - you'll find there full implementation for Play 2.x

I read this article that says that PayPal may leave Java and go with JavaScript. I was amazed of this, does this mean that JavaScript can be used as a server side language like Python, PHP, etc? What I know about JavaScript is that it is a client side language.
Use Node.js

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily
building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an
event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and
efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run
across distributed devices.
