Introduction to ps-locale-th_TH-12.5.1.6000-1.cop.sgn
The ps-locale-th_TH-12.5.1.6000-1.cop.sgn software package provides comprehensive Thai (th_TH) localization support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) deployments, specifically tailored for enterprises and government agencies in Thailand. Released in Q3 2025 as part of Cisco’s Asia-Pacific Localization Initiative, this update ensures compliance with Thailand’s National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) regulations for language formatting, emergency service labeling, and administrative interface translations.
Compatible with CUCM versions 12.5(1)SU9 and later, the package supports Cisco Business Edition 7000 Series appliances and virtual CUCM clusters running on VMware ESXi 7.0+/KVM 4.0+. It addresses Thailand-specific requirements such as Buddhist Era (BE) calendar integration and Thai script rendering optimizations.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Regional Formatting Compliance
- Date/Time Standardization: Implements dual calendar support (Gregorian and Buddhist Era) with localized formats (DD/MM/YYYY BE in system logs and billing reports).
- Currency Handling: Updates templates with Thai Baht (฿) symbol placement and thousand-separator rules (e.g., 1,234.56 ฿) per Bank of Thailand standards.
2. UI Localization Enhancements
- Resolves 33 UI truncation issues in Thai translations for critical menus like Call Routing > Route Groups and User Management > Device Settings.
- Adds Thai keyboard mapping for Cisco IP Phone 8865/8861 endpoints and Webex Desk Pro devices, including support for vowel stacking and tone mark rendering.
3. Regulatory & Security Updates
- Updates emergency service labels for Thailand (e.g., 191 for police, 1669 for medical emergencies) in location-based routing configurations.
- Integrates GDPR-equivalent terminology in Thai audit logs and user consent prompts, aligning with Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
- Patches SIP message parsing vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-2088) identified in CUCM 12.5(1)SU8, improving denial-of-service (DoS) resilience.
