Question about Anki: Translating from English words

Hello!

I'd have a question regarding Anki, and translating from English words. So, In the current Anki deck I'm using, it's all the vocab found in Genki 1 2nd edition. Now until a little while ago, I was doing two cards per word, meaning a card would come up in English asking for the Japanese translation and vice versa. For example:

Card:

Desk

Answer:

つくえ

Then of course the card would come up again as:

Card:

つくえ

Answer:

Desk

I've turned off ALL English -> Japanese cards after reading a few posts from other outlets stating that this will impede my progress on forming my "Japanese Brain". So, I was wondering what your all's take is on this? Do you have cards that translate from English? Or purely Japanese to English? What do you think is the most efficient?

For reference, I'm on chapter 11 on Genki 1 and level 13 in Wanikani.

Thanks!
