You can check your translation files under "/app/locale/YOUR_LANGUAGE".

To change the "MY CART - ITEMS" in top.links menu, you have to open "mage_checkout.csv" and edit lines 105, 106, 107 (if default).

For my case (Brazilian Portuguese), it is as follows:
"My Cart","Meu Carrinho"
"My Cart (%s item)","Meu Carrinho (%s item)"
"My Cart (%s items)","Meu Carrinho (%s itens)"

In the admin try the inline translation tool under System > Configuration > (left sidebar dropdown) Website > (left sidebar, bottom) >Developer. Turn on Inline Translation for Frontend. In the first bar you can even designate what IP address will see the translation tool active on the frontend (absolutely necessary for live site). Then go to your website, hover over the text you wish to change, and click on the little book that shows up. Fill in the appropriate fields, save, and refresh page. Viola!

Note to developers: this only works if your text is echoed in the templates like this:

<?php echo $this->__('Whatever Text You want Written')?>

In the default magento installation, the top links are as follows:

My Account | My Wishlist | My Cart | Checkout | Log In

In order to change or reorder them you have to do some changes in layout files (xml files).

You can do changes for My Account, Log Out, and Log In from customer.xml file. You can change the title and position of these menu from there.

You can change the ordering of My Cart and Checkout from checkout.xml

See for the following code in checkout.xml
<action method="addCartLink"></action>
<action method="addCheckoutLink"></action>

For My Wishlist, open wishlist.xml and search for the following code:
<action method="addWishlistLink"></action>

You can do it easily using Menu Manager Pro, this extension simplifies the creation of menus of different types with different structure significantly.

You can do it simply through Admin panel => admin panel System > Configuration > Wishlist > Enabled = "No"
