I also don't think this is a case of anti-TOOWTDI. For most situations {}-strings are great (IMO), but in the specific translation domain, I suspect $-strings are still better. I agree that keeping string.Template around is valid due to its focus on being very simple to use (especially for non-coders producing translation templates) However, string.Template is already set up to work for the relevant APIs in that domain so I don't think it will really be affected by any changes to the underlying language and library support for brace formatting.
What if you wanted to translate log messages? Printing to a StringIO
first really isn't a very good solution.
