Introduction to uc-locale-zh_TW-14.0.0.1-83.cop.sha512
The uc-locale-zh_TW-14.0.0.1-83.cop.sha512 is a cryptographic integrity-verified localization package designed to deliver full Traditional Chinese (Taiwan, locale code: zh_TW) language support for Cisco’s Unified Communications ecosystem. Released under Collaboration System Release 14.0.0.1, this SHA512-signed COP file ensures compliance with Taiwan’s CNS 11643 character encoding standards and GDPR-aligned regional data handling requirements.
Compatible with Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0(0.1)SU3 and Webex Room Series devices, it resolves legacy issues with character rendering in administrative portals, call detail reports, and billing interfaces. The package standardizes date/time formats (YYYY/MM/DD), numeric separators, and currency symbols (NT$) for enterprises operating in Taiwan or multilingual environments.
