Twig Components / Methods / localdate

localdate(format = null, locale = null, timezone = null) is a Twig filter to output a localized, readable version of a timestamp.

locale	`Optional` The locale (language) in which to translate the date. If not provided, the default locale from config/services.yaml will be used instead.

To check all available date formats, please refer to the official php documentation https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
