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

This digitally signed COP file provides Japanese localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1 systems, designed to comply with Japan’s Telecommunications Business Law and Industrial Standards (JIS X 4063). Released under Cisco’s Q4 2024 globalization initiative, it implements full-width character rendering, yen currency formatting (¥), and Gregonal calendar synchronization required for Japanese enterprise communications.

The package modifies 17 core CUCM services including Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT) and Certificate Management. The “ja_JP” locale code adheres to IETF BCP 47 standards, requiring UTF-8 encoding and TLS 1.3 security protocols. Compatible with CUCM clusters running 12.5(1)SU3 or later, it supports both physical UCS C-Series servers and VMware ESXi 7.0U3+ virtual environments.
