Cool, do we know if this is an intermediate update or the final string
freeze (given no errors are found)?

Sounds reasonable. However, I don't know how the backporting of
translations to -fixes will be handled in the future, I think most of
the backported translations to 0.23 was just due to people missing the
deadline before final release. I haven't followed it that closely, but
I think the backporting stopped after a few weeks.
