rewrite cart url is not working in magento - magento

Question

I want to re-write checkout cart url. I had created a module but it is not working. I had created config.xml and Url.php in model but it didn't succeed. my code is: etc/config.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Ghrix_Newcart>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</Ghrix_Newcart>
</modules>
<global>
<rewrite>
<ghrix_newcart_checkout_cart>
<from><![CDATA[#^/checkout/winkelwagen#]]></from>
<to><![CDATA[#^/checkout/cart#]]></to>
</ghrix_newcart_checkout_cart>
</rewrite>
<models>
<ghrix_newcart>
<class>Ghrix_Newcart_Model</class>
</ghrix_newcart>
<core>
<rewrite>
<url>Ghrix_Newcart_Model_Url</url>
</rewrite>
</core>
</models>
</global>
</config>
in Model/Url.php
<?php
class Ghrix_Newcart_Model_Url extends Mage_Core_Model_Url {
/**
* Build url by requested path and parameters
*
* #param string|null $routePath
* #param array|null $routeParams
* #return string
*/
public function getUrl($routePath = null, $routeParams = null) {
if(strstr($routePath,'checkout')){
//echo $routePath.'--ss--<br />';
}
if ( $routePath == 'checkout/cart' ) {
$routePath = 'checkout/cart';
}
return parent::getUrl($routePath, $routeParams);
}
}
?>
I had created a function properly but it didn't work for me. I want my checkout/cart url should be checkout/winkelwagen Please suggest what can I do.

I would probably approach this in a less intrusive way, using Magento’s event observer system. What you could do is redirect all requests to the checkout/cart route to your new route checkout/winkelwagen with something like this:
etc/config.xml
<frontend>
<events>
<controller_action_predispatch_checkout_cart_index>
<observers>
<redirectCart>
<class>Ghrix_Newcart_Model_Observer</class>
<method>redirectCart</method>
</redirectCart>
</observers>
</controller_action_predispatch_checkout_cart_index>
</events>
</frontend>
Model/Observer.php
public function redirectCart(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
Mage::app()->getResponse()->setRedirect('/checkout/winkelwagen')->sendResponse();
exit;
}
