Sorry for leading you in the wrong direction: the menus are not
processed by gettext().  Only the messages are.

The menu file used is $VIMRUNTIME/lang/menu_fr_fr.latin1.vim.  When
'encoding' is "utf-8" then it will use "scriptencoding latin1", which
will trigger conversion from latin1 to utf-8.

The ":menu File" output should be correct.  If it isn't then there
already was a problem at this point.  You don't set 'encoding' anywhere,
hopefully.  If you change 'encoding' after loading the menus then things
will fail.  Try: ":verbose set encoding?".
