Hi Filipe -
Clearly I have indeed got things broken - # rpm -q yum package yum is not installed
So I downloaded the rpm for a reinstall as you suggested - but clearly I have more to get and install -
I downloaded to my home directory and ran the rpm -Uvh from there
# rpm -Uvh --force yum-3.2.19-18.el5.centos.noarch.rpm error: Failed dependencies: rpm >= 0:4.4.2 is needed by yum-3.2.19-18.el5.centos.noarch rpm-python is needed by yum-3.2.19-18.el5.centos.noarch yum-fastestmirror is needed by yum-3.2.19-18.el5.centos.noarch
Either I am running this in the wrong location, or there is a lot of other stuff out of whack.

As to the question below - I have that directory, but not that file.
yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1 (from CentOS 5.2) has /usr/share/yum-cli/ i18n.py
yum-3.2.19-18.el5.centos (from CentOS 5.3) no longer has that file.
Probably you broke your update in the middle so you got things in an inconsistent state.
Try this command to see which yum you have installed: # rpm -q yum
And then you can verify if the package's integrity is compromised with: # rpm -V yum
I believe to solve your problem you will have to reinstall the RPM for "yum" manually.
To do that, download this RPM: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/yum-3.2.19-18.el5.centos.no...
And then run: # rpm -Uvh --force yum-3.2.19-18.el5.centos.noarch.rpm
After that is done, your yum should start working again.
If it does not, report any issues you have, together with the output of "rpm -q yum" and "rpm -V yum" after reinstalling the package.
