Do a Wikipedia search on Truck Garden and Lorry Garden to see the differences.

The same sort of thing may be to automatically change Trunk to Boot and Hood to Bonnet. Then we'd get Steamer Boots, Boxing Boots and Little Red Riding Bonnet.
I figured it was a global replace when I first saw it--so you would not only have to understand Truck and Truck Garden, but thanks to their helpful insistence on translations, you'd have to know what a lorry was and then guess that Lorry Garden was a mistakenly translated term...
