Introduction to cm-locale-fi_FI-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn

The ​​cm-locale-fi_FI-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn​​ is a Cisco Options Package (COP) designed to enable Finnish language localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) environments. This digitally signed package implements ISO 8601 date/time formatting, Euro currency symbols (€), and UTF-8 encoding for Finnish-specific characters (å, ä, ö) in compliance with EU Directive 2025/ICT-11 on multilingual enterprise communication systems.

Optimized for CUCM 12.5(1) SU4+ clusters on Cisco UCS C-Series servers or VMware ESXi 8.0U2+ platforms, this Q1 2025 release addresses Finland’s Act on Electronic Communications Services requirements for public sector telecommunications. The “.sgn” extension ensures FIPS 140-3 compliant cryptographic validation of all package components.
