A site we were developing needed to have the wording “My Cart” changed to “My Basket” in the header links of the site.

To do this we made a translate.csv file under “/app/design/frontend/default/default/locale/en_GB/”

The “en_GB” could be whatever locale you are using. Our store is setup for the UK so it is “en_GB” the US would be “en_US”.

Also the template could differ, we were using the default template.

Now in the translate.csv file add the following lines:

“My Cart (%s item)”, “My Basket (%s item)”
“My Cart (%s items)”, “My Basket (%s items)”
“My Cart”, “My Basket”

Save the file and upload it to the location above. Login to the admin and refresh the cache by going to System->Cache Management. Select refresh in the drop down and press “Save Cache Settings”

Refresh your website front end to notice the difference.
