No, it doesn't ask for something "in Mexican". It asks for a "Mexican translation".
He's asking for someone familiar with the language as it's spoken in Mexico to clarify what was said. |
What about a Spanish translation? |
He was not in Spain. |
Who?

It's all right as long as you stay away from the slang. Once you try using slang that you don't understand, you get in BIG trouble. Slang in Mexican, Castilian, and any other version of Spanish is seriously different in each version.
The prince should have just stuck to standard Spanish and skipped trying to be cool.

Microsoft Word has 19 different versions of Spanish you can use to compose a document.
But what's even stranger: it has 18 different versions of English!

Naturally, but it is still the same language. No one speaks "American" or "Austrian" or "Mexican." the speak English, German and Spanish, even though there are different words, meanings and pronunciations, they share enough characteristics to be considered the same language.

You need to do more crossword puzzles. They use that interchangeably.
What is the sound when you pull a tab. It sure as hell doesn't sound like "soda". And it is referred to as a "Pop tab".
