It seems like you don't use the method correctly, or probably just misunderstood it.

$translate.instant('ID') expects the translation id as first parameter and interpolation params as second parameter. It then translate the id synchronously instead of asynchronously (which is what $translate() does).

What you want is explicitly translating a translation id in a certain locale no matter what language key is currently used. This is currently not supported yet.

Hope that makes things clear.
