Shopping Cart recommendations

A customer wants me to implement a shopping cart to sell law books.
I have done a research, but didn't find a killing application so far. The
one I found best was osCommerce, but the project seems abandonned somehow.
I also found ZenCart, but it won't work with all browsers, it's terrible.
So... I don't know, if you have recommendations, they're welcome. I prefer
open-source software, and preferably with support for Brazilian Portuguese.
Thanks,

I'd personally recommend hand coding.....Whichever server side scripting
language you prefer to work in.....
I've built countless shopping carts in th epast using ASP, and to be honest,
it's a lot easier than most people realise.....And it has the advantage that
the end product is 100% tailored to your needs....It's coded from the ground
up with your needs in mind....An off the shelf package will always feel
somewhat *shoehorned* to fit your needs.....

Abandoned? How did you come to this conclusion? osCommerce has a community
in the thousands.

What' missing in osCommerce that you need continuing support for?

How do you figure? Judging from the newsbytes on the left side of the homepage,
the project is still alive and kicking. If you have some questions, I'm a
longtime osC user and can probably answer them for you (email me offlist).

www.oscommerce.com is far from abandoned. What gave you that idea?
I think you'll find that oscommerce is generally seen as the best free
solution.
