Branch description
This branch addresses an inconsistency in the Django documentation regarding how time zones are handled in templates and forms. The existing documentation suggests that time zone-aware datetime objects are translated to the end user’s time zone. However, it has been observed that Django actually uses the TIME_ZONE settings. The proposed changes correct this documentation to accurately reflect the actual behavior: when time zone support is enabled, Django stores datetime information in UTC in the database, uses time-zone-aware datetime objects internally, and translates them to the :ref:default current time zone ` in templates and forms. This update ensures that the documentation matches the implemented behavior, reducing potential confusion for developers.
