That will display a text with the cart item count and the total price.

Thanks, Lovely Singh")* If you enter your modification in the main area of the translation file, you will loose it next time your update HikaShop. Instead, you should add it in the "override" area, at the bottom of the popup. Regarding that error, that's because the permissions of the "languages" folder of your website are not correct. You should try to make it 777 and that should hopefully solve the problem of saving the override file.
