Introduction to cm-locale-hu_HU-12.5.1.6000-1.cop.sgn
This localization package enables native Hungarian language support (hu_HU locale) for Cisco Collaboration Manager 12.5.1 environments. Released in Q2 2025 as part of Cisco’s Central European localization initiative, it provides full UI translation for administrative interfaces and end-user devices, including region-specific formats for currency, date/time, and emergency service compliance.
Certified for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 12.5.1 SU4 and later, the COP file resolves 15+ linguistic inconsistencies identified in previous Hungarian localization attempts. It supports right-to-left text rendering for multilingual deployments and aligns with Hungary’s E-COM 2.0 telecommunications regulations.
