In theory yes, however the ftpmasters decided (somewhere) that stable
releases shouldn't get translation updates. I'm not sure I agree with the
reasoning, but there it is. As a practical issue fixing that would be
changing one line in dak, and telling ddtp.d.n to generate the necessary
files. But it's more of a policy thing really.

Or at least, that's my recollection of it. Trying to find evidence in git
repos drew a blank though; references to stable are carefully commented out
everywhere right from the start. Evidently the choice was made prior to the
first commit of the automatic update code (ddtp-dinstall).

I would argue that when Debian does a point release with stable-updates,
that translations should be considered part of that.

Have a nice day,
