📆 Date and Time Localization

Use the built‑in l (alias for localize) helper to format dates and times according to locale‑specific formats. Define custom formats under time or date scopes in your locale files.

<!-- app/views/events/show.html.erb -->
<p><%= l(@event.starts_at, format: :long) %></p>

    formats:
      short: "%d %b %H:%M"
      long:  "%B %d, %Y at %H:%M"
