1. You may offer prostration later as well. However, it is Makruh Tanzihi (unpreferable) to delay it because it is easy to forget to do it later.

الدرالمختار، باب سجود اتلاوة)٠)

(قوله تنزيها)
(لأنه بطول الزمان قد ينساها (رد المحتار

2. According to the Hanafi Fiqh, prostration will be Wajib (mandatory) after reading the translation of the Quran
