1. Introduction to ps-locale-sr_ME-14.0.1.4000-1.cop.sha512
This locale package provides native Serbian (Montenegro) language support (sr_ME) for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.x environments, adhering to ISO 639/3166 standards. It enables Cyrillic script rendering, Montenegro-specific date/time formats (DD.MM.YYYY), and decimal separators compliant with regional conventions (e.g., 1.234,56 for numeric values). The SHA512 checksum ensures cryptographic verification of file integrity during distribution.
Released in Q2 2025 as part of CUCM 14.0.1 SU7, this COP file supports multi-tenant deployments requiring bidirectional text alignment in voicemail interfaces, directory services, and administrator portals. It integrates with Cisco’s internationalization framework to maintain consistency across Cisco Jabber, Webex App, and Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) platforms.
2. Key Features and Improvements
Core Localization Enhancements
- Unicode 15.1 Support: Full compatibility with Cyrillic Extended-B characters (U+A640–U+A69F) and Montenegro-specific diacritics.
- Regional Format Standardization
- Date: DD.MM.YYYY with localized month names (e.g., новембар)
- Currency: Euro (EUR) symbol positioning per Montenegro’s financial regulations
- Decimal: Comma separators for thousands and periods for decimals (1.234,56)
System-Level Optimizations
- 30% reduction in locale-switching latency through precompiled message catalogs.
- FIPS 180-4 compliance via SHA512 hashing for secure over-the-air (OTA) updates.
Administrative Tools
- Automatic fallback to en_US locale during certificate validation errors.
- Diagnostic command:
locale -a | grep sr_ME
for deployment verification.
