I have a upcoming interview for SWE position with google. I told recruiter that I am looking for SWE- Frontend role. Recruiter told me that candidate needs to clear SWE bar irrespective of frontend or backend.
Recruiter told that interview rounds are focused on DS & algo and start preparing for it.
I am proficient in javascript but doesn't know Java or c++ enough to crack interviews.
1. Should I learn java or c++ to write code in interview?
2. Can I used javascript to write code in interview?
3. Where should I focus more on leetcode, java/C++, or Frontend Domain?
Please provide inputs.

Typically, a FE candidate will do a mix of FE rounds and DS/algo rounds. FE candidates are not supposed to be "HTML/JS hackers" and should be well-rounded engineers. That's probably what the recruiter meant by having to "clear the SWE bar".
The choice of language is up to the candidate. Be sure to let your recruiter know that you'll be doing your rounds in JS. It's their job to find interviewers who know JS.
Source: I interview candidates in JS. I myself interviewed in JS when I applied.
What did you have and how much did they offer you? Its either FB or low-ball Google offer. Which one of them is it?
I think if your code is clear and you explain what JavaScript specific functionality and methods do it should be fine. Also did you ask your recruiter about language?
