So, it is from French.
When I learned it in high school, this word was not in our vocabulary. :-)

May be, but I cannot think of a better explanation.

Nothing crashed so far and this, in my view, proves that should not
be an obligatory dependency for any package in my wold file.

$ emerge --depclean -pv gettext
--- Couldn't find 'gettext' to depclean.

However, running
# equery depends gettext
before forcefully unmerging the gettext package,
I got the following response:

In my case, the Firefox is already slow enogh especially on
starting, but that is probably because I use too many tabs.
(That did not slowed FF earlier until some update.)

May be, but as I have already written it, I cannot think of a better
explanation why started in a default profile Firefox uses non-English
menu, but started in a new profile, it uses the English menu for the
same youtube video on the same web-page.

Thank you for the link. I will look at it in more detail later, but from
the first look, the recommended localization method is using gettext.
