In
https://github.com/django/django/commit/55b5393bd235aa6c55ea9a7da6f0e8b75b204084
a new ValidationError message was added that isn't using the common
pattern of using string substitution variables but instead a format
string.
I noticed this while updating the German translation for 2.1 and found
Transifex to not display the variables correctly which could prevent
translators to correctly set the variables in the translated string.
In my experience translators can mistake "{variables}" in text as
something to translate as well, which effectively can lead to either
KeyError (because the expected format variable weren't found) or empty
fill-ins.
Either way, this is a possible breaking change.
