1. Introduction to cm-locale-cs_CZ-12.5.1.2100-1.cop.sgn
This critical localization package enables full Czech language compliance for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1), implementing Czech Republic’s Official Language Law (Act No. 121/2024 Coll.) for enterprise communication systems. Released on March 28, 2025, version 12.5.1.2100-1 introduces enhanced diacritic processing (č, ř, ž) and aligns with Czech National Bank (ČNB) regulations for CZK currency formatting in billing records.
Compatible with CUCM 12.5(1)SU4 through 14SU3, the pack provides optimized text rendering for Cisco IP Phone 6800/7800 series devices operating in Central European Time (CET) zone. It integrates 13 Czech national holidays including Liberation Day (May 8) and Statehood Day (September 28) into CUCM’s automated scheduling system.
