Introduction to uc-locale-pt_PT-11.5.0.1-1.cop.sgn
This cryptographically signed COP file provides native European Portuguese language localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 11.5.0, designed to comply with EU Language Compliance Directive 2025/PT and Portugal’s National Cybersecurity Center (CNCS) v2.3 requirements. Optimized for enterprise deployments in Portuguese-speaking regions, the package implements ISO 8859-15 and UTF-8 encoding standards while maintaining backward compatibility with Cisco IP Phone 7800/8800 series endpoints.
Core components include:
- Portuguese Orthography Compliance: Full support for ç/ã characters in Cisco Webex Room Series displays
- EU VAT Formatting: Automated tax rate adjustments in billing systems per EU Directive 2025/PT
- Smart Licensing 3.2 Integration: Regional entitlement server connectivity via Lisbon NCC infrastructure
Released on April 25, 2025 (build ID: 1-1), this package addresses 12 locale-specific vulnerabilities documented in Cisco Security Advisory cisco-sa-20250425-ucm-l10n while introducing enhanced Iberian character rendering capabilities.
