Introduction to ps-locale-ja_JP-12.5.1.8001-1.cop.sha512

This SHA512-signed localization package delivers comprehensive Japanese language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1 deployments. Designed to optimize administrative workflows for Japanese-speaking IT teams, it translates 98% of system interfaces including error logs, configuration menus, and real-time diagnostics.
