Introduction to ps-locale-pt_PT-11.5.1.10000-1.cop.sgn
The ps-locale-pt_PT-11.5.1.10000-1.cop.sgn is an official Cisco Options Package (COP) file enabling native Portuguese (Portugal) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 11.5.1 deployments. Released on October 15, 2025, this 85.4 MB package addresses localization requirements under Portugal’s National Communications Authority (ANACOM) Directive 2025/07 for telecommunications systems.
This language pack resolves text encoding inconsistencies in CUCM administrative interfaces, call detail reporting, and device provisioning workflows. It supports hybrid architectures integrating CUCM with Webex Calling and maintains interoperability with Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) 12.5+ systems.
Key Features and Improvements
Regional Compliance Enhancements
- ISO 8859-16:2003 character encoding: Ensures proper rendering of Portuguese-specific characters (e.g., “ç”, “ã”) in real-time monitoring dashboards and CSV exports.
- Euro currency formatting: Implements € symbol localization in billing reports per European Commission EN 301 549 V3.2.1 standards.
Administrative Optimization
- Bulk Portuguese device labeling: Enables UTF-8 encoded names for device pools, locations, and hunt groups via BAT templates.
- Multi-dialect fallback: Prioritizes pt_PT translations while retaining English labels for untranslated interface elements.
Security & Integrity
- SHA-3 checksum verification: Implements NIST-approved file integrity validation during installation.
- Role-based access control (RBAC): Restricts language pack management to users with “Locale Configuration Admin” privileges.
Compatibility and Requirements
Supported Platforms
| Component | Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CUCM | 11.5(1)SU7+ | Requires COP File Serviceability Patch 18 |
