# |localize

forces locale-aware formatting on one value.

## Documentation

Formats one value according to the active locale, whatever `USE_L10N` or a surrounding `{% localize %}` block has decided.

### Template

```django
{% load l10n %}
{{ value|localize }}
```

The single-value counterpart to the tag of the same name.
