AFAIK, there is no way of making strings land in translation templates from branches other than the default "master" branch unfortunately.
But I think January to March is a reasonable time frame for getting some work done. Are you planning to do minor follow-up releases with bugfixes? You could include translation updates in those.
Cheers,
Philipp
