Not very different from the other answers, I'm afraid.
I think "always" is acceptable also.

A bit difficult, as one of the other answerers has said, without a bit more context.
Simple "always" would be "alltid", so "i alle år" must have some special significance. It will probably be connected with something that has endured or functioned over several years, and is being commented on.
Give us some more context if you can :-)

Thank you for the context, and I think my choice here would remain the same.
Hope it helps :-)
