If You use liveview, You can set timezone, timezone_offset in the live socket, this way You can retrieve this information server side, and do the translation in the server.

let liveSocket = new LiveSocket("/live", Socket, {
  hooks: Hooks,
  params: {
    _csrf_token: csrfToken,
    locale: Intl.NumberFormat().resolvedOptions().locale,
    // timezone: Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone,
    // USE POLYFILL FOR IE11
    timezone: moment.tz.guess(),
    timezone_offset: -(new Date().getTimezoneOffset() / 60),
  }
});

But as other have also mentionned, I prefer to do it client side
