It seems that the issue is related with the +- sign for DVDs 

     if ((hal_device_get_property_bool (d, "storage.cdrom.dvdr")) &&
          (hal_device_get_property_bool (d, "storage.cdrom.dvdplusr")))
        second = _("DVD\xc2\xb1R");
      if (hal_device_get_property_bool (d, "storage.cdrom.dvdrw") &&
          hal_device_get_property_bool (d, "storage.cdrom.dvdplusrw"))
        second = _("DVDxc2\xb1RW");

Note that the second one is missing a \ (xc2 instead \xc2)

I'm going to implement solution B

OK, I'll try to check
