Introduction to ps-locale-nl_NL-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
This SHA512-signed localization package enables native Dutch language support (nl_NL) in Cisco collaboration platforms and enterprise networking devices. Designed for Unified Communications Manager v14.x environments, it implements ISO 639-3 language standards with regional dialect adaptations for Flanders and Netherlands regions.
The 14.0.1.1000 version released in Q3 2024 resolves text rendering inconsistencies in Dutch GUI translations observed in previous releases. It maintains compatibility with Cisco IP Phone 8800/8900 series, Webex Room Devices, and Catalyst 9300/9500 switches running IOS XE 17.9.3+.
