Introduction to uc-locale-nl_BE-15.0.0.1-90.cop.sha512
The uc-locale-nl_BE-15.0.0.1-90.cop.sha512 is an official Cisco localization package designed to enable Belgian Dutch (nl_BE) language compliance in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 15.0 environments. This SHA-512 verified component standardizes regional formatting for:
- Date/Time Displays: Aligns with Belgium’s DD/MM/YYYY format and CET/CEST time zone conventions
- Currency Handling: Supports Euro (€) symbol placement and decimal formatting per EU standards
- Telephony Compliance: Implements Belgian National Numbering Plan 2025 updates for emergency service routing
- Administrative Interfaces: Localizes CUCM web portals and device UIs
Released in Q2 2025 as part of Cisco’s quarterly collaboration updates, this package resolves locale-specific issues reported in multinational deployments across Benelux regions. It requires CUCM 15.0(1)SU3 or later and undergoes cryptographic validation per Cisco’s Software Image Authentication framework.
