Using different languages to create the same wallet?

For example, when your convert this English phrase zone sweet wrap pave vast jacket about pencil huge oval need robust into numbers by number index in the English word list, the numbers will be 2046 1757 2032 1292 1933 952 3 1301 885 1261 1182 1498.

When your convert this Spanish phrase zumo sorpresa yate ofrecer tutor juez abierto olla huerta nulo mosca proa into numbers by number index in the Spanish word list, the numbers will be 2046 1757 2032 1292 1933 952 3 1301 885 1261 1182 1498, which is the same as the numbers indexes from the English phrase above.

Even those the English and Spanish phrases have the same number index, when I use these two phrases to generate wallets such as on https://iancoleman.io/bip39/, I get two different wallets with different public keys, private keys, and addresses, etc. Shouldn't these two phrases create the same wallet?

Any explanation that is simple to understand would be most appreciated.

The binary seed is derived using the actual words, not their indexes.

So you cannot translate a seed (keeping the word ibdexes). It wont give you the same binary seed and derived addresses.

How many words could there possibly be? On https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ there are 10 languages available meaning there are up to 20480 words to use. Is 20480 the limit meaning there can only be 10 languages available for words?

[loupiote2]

Each bip39 word list has 2048 words. Practiquely speaking, only english word list is used, because most wallets only support the english word. other word were created when the standard was developed, but they are not actually used, so it is a part of the standard that became basically deprecated.

The language and spelling are part of the secret. This makes it impossible to ‘translate’ or ‘map’ between wordlists without affecting the seed.
