Introduction to ps-locale-en_GB-12.5.1.8000-1.cop.sha512

This localization package provides British English (en_GB) language support for Cisco Collaboration Systems, specifically designed for deployments requiring regional compliance with ISO 639/3166 standards. As part of Cisco’s Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1 feature pack, it enables system administrators to configure device interfaces, error messages, and administrative portals in en_GB localization.

Compatible with CUCM 12.5.1 SU2 and later versions, the package adheres to Cisco’s SHA-512 cryptographic validation standard for software integrity verification. The release date aligns with Cisco’s Q3 2024 collaboration product refresh cycle, addressing localization gaps identified in previous iterations.
