This operation would only give you the expected results if there was a Mexican Spanish word of with an identical definition as the definition of an English word (which is often not the case, generally, with different languages). Even without knowing the details I agree it is quite unlikely gorge, canyon and other similar words all have an identical meaning. Cheers Martin
