`|localtime` Filter

converts a datetime to the current time zone.

Documentation

Add {% load tz %} near the top of any template that uses |localtime. Without it Django does not know the name and raises TemplateSyntaxError.

Converts one aware datetime to the current time zone, regardless of the surrounding {% localtime %} setting.

{% load tz %}
{{ value|localtime }}

Did we get something wrong? Is there a use case for the localtime filter that we should add? Please let us know.
