For RHEL branches, it can be left behind, because most likely those are
looked after by Red Hat translators. But it doesn't mean stay away, and
always welcome to have it done if you like.
For Fxx branches (already released), it is best not to work. It can
highly likely be wasting your time. Because developers won't pull and
repackage against released version, aka no look back, afaik.
For master vs Fxx branches (under development), as explained nicely by
Tian, it would be best to keep updating in parallel.
