This is a diff between an english language file from zencart 1.3 to 1.3.5
Big question is, how many zencart user wants to call their customers "mate" or better "gooberbrain" when they enter a wrong password.
god damn
maybe even funnier, I was looking for a Japanese language pack on their forum. The files are available through a SVN repository. but the guy is too stupid to realize the files can be fetch using svn. and propose publicaly to everyone to download every single files by hand.. Next another very brave guy went and download them all and offer us a zip of his patient work. So kind of him.... Did I ever mention when do I think of patient program who does not care going the long way and not do thing properly. well its another subject I guess.
Later the first guy propose some windows software to downthemall
in five pages of forum thread nobody ever realize this was a SVN repository.

Conclusion? go ahead, get yourself a shopping cart from one of those expert. They definitely have the patience to get the job done.
I really got a comment on this. How can I say. Zencart impressed me. It's not end of the world but they came a long way since oscommerce. Maybe some people might thing there is too much in it and oscommerce might be more "slick" If I can use this adjective for these projects.
first, you can do a lot more with zencart without touching the code. and I think this is very important when using such a product. And more importantly the new release 1.3.5 is all table-less div+css supported. which gives way more design opportunity.
I still see a need for custom made shopping cart when the client need something specific. but for low-cost contract and quick shoppping cart development, zencart really beast oscommerce as far as I am concerned.
