There are a lot of desktop-related questions showing up, it's Sunday so 
I figured I would share my opinion on the topic.

I hate to say it but CentOS isn't really built for this kinda desktop 
stuff.  dvd ripping/authoring/burning is still a pretty fast moving 
target so software is always changing and so are the dependencies. 
CentOS's place (IMO) is on the server where you don't want fast moving 
software, but reliable stuff that "Just Works".

You're better off using a desktop geared distro like Ark, Ubuntu or 
Gentoo.  My desktop is Gentoo and all my servers are CentOS.

To answer your question, it looks like you need the Locale::TextDomain 
perl module.  You can install it using CPAN if you can't find a RPM:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
[a bunch of stuff about configuring the cpan interface if you've never 
done it before]
install Locale::TextDomain

That should do it...
