I tried
http://api.geonames.org/findNearbyPlaceNameJSON?lat=19.3402&lng=-99.185153&username=ztrange&maxRows=1&lang=es

and it returns
"geonames": [
{
"countryId": "3996063",
"adminCode1": "15",
"countryName": "México",
"fclName": "city, village,...",
"countryCode": "MX",
"lng": "-99.2",
"fcodeName": "section of populated place",
"distance": "1.90013",
"toponymName": "San Ángel Inn",
"fcl": "P",
"name": "San Ángel Inn",
"fcode": "PPLX",
"geonameId": 3519897,
"lat": "19.35",
"adminName1": "México",
"population": 0
}
]

The admin1 name is wrong. It should be Distrito Federal in spanish or "The Federal District" in english.

Even those coordinates on the response are on Distrito Federal, as you can see here:

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=19.35,-99.2&hl=en&ll=19.350647,-99.194183&spn=0.01233,0.021136&sll=19.340224,-99.185334&sspn=0.01233,0.021136&t=h&z=16

Actually, it SHOULD NOT be in english. The name of the admin1 is "Distrito Federal". the type is Federal District, but the name is "Distrito Federal"
