You can always use a translation book. But my concern would be if you use Book A in 2023 then need to translate in 2050 but no longer have Book A so you use Book B or even use Google Translate or some other service, the translation may not be the same as in 2023 from Book A and now your seed phrase is unknown and your funds lost.

You're thinking the right way though. But with something as important as seed phrases, the KISS (Keep It Stupid Simple) mentality is the way to go.
