1. Introduction to cm-locale-zh_CN-12.5.1.6000-1.cop.sgn
This localization package delivers comprehensive Simplified Chinese language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v12.5 systems, designed to meet China’s GB 18030-2025 mandatory character encoding standard for enterprise communication platforms. Released on March 1, 2025 through Cisco’s APAC Localization Initiative, the COP file updates 2,118 administrative interface elements and implements GB/T 26235-2023 specifications for Chinese text rendering in telephony systems.
Compatible with CUCM clusters running on UCS C-Series M7 servers (C220/C240) and VMware ESXi 8.0 U3+ virtual environments. The package maintains backward compatibility with existing SIP/H.323 trunk configurations while upgrading locale-specific voice recognition libraries.
