This command didn't work after the first restart. And strangely, I got
the following:
-->getdefaultlanguage
 ans  =

 en_US

-->getlanguage
 ans  =

 fr_FR

I issued another -->setdefaultlanguage('en_US') to get the following
comforting message
The language for menus cannot be changed on a running console.
Restart Scilab to apply to menus.

So all is well now, and I thank you very much for all this help you
provided even on Sundays!

Ok. So should I issue getd() commands for each needed subdirectory in
the .scilab file ?
