Introduction to uc-locale-el_GR-14.0.0.1-28.cop.sha512
This Cisco Options Package (COP) file provides localized Greek language resources for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.x environments, designed to meet European Union language compliance requirements under Regulation (EU) 2024/1234. Released in Q2 2025 as part of Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan 3.1 updates, this locale pack (version 14.0.0.1-28) enables complete UI translation for administrative portals, IP phone displays, and automated voice prompts using modern Greek orthography standards.
The “_el_GR” designation ensures adherence to Greece’s language specifications including euro (EUR) currency formatting, 24-hour time notation (HH:MM), and address conventions per ELOT 1433 standard. This update resolves critical diacritical rendering issues (ά, έ, ί) identified in CUCM 14.0(1)SU3 deployments across Mediterranean enterprises.
