There isn't anything in English.  "Every four months" or "thrice yearly"
is the best I can do.  "Termly" (referring to school/university/legal
terms) might do, but is not normally used in a financial context, except
by academic institutions.

If trimester means that in Austria, that is the word to use there,
however illogical the etymology.
