I initially translated each word to Spanish, ending up with camion casa verdad palmeras entrada pulgas verguenza mesa sonido cachorro ficha bebida

Then, I wrote them backwards:

Are you a native Spanish speaker, or you have utilized some online tool like google translate to present your seed words in Spanish? If the latter, your encryption method that encrypts nothing has already been broken, and your funds have been stolen. Different translation tools, dictionaries, and vocabularies will likely translate words a bit differently, which means you will have a hard time decrypting your seed back if you, for some reason, forget what tool you have used. What if you remember what you used, but a translation algorithm has changed, or Spanish people changed the meaning of a certain word? Assume you translated, all words are in the BIP39 wordlist, but checksum doesn't match? Good luck brute-forcing your seed. You will likely compromise your seed again upon this process of brute-forcing.
