1. Introduction to uc-locale-nl_NL-12.5.0.1-31.cop.sgn
This cryptographic-signed localization package (v12.5.0.1-31) enables native Dutch (nl_NL) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) clusters, addressing regulatory requirements for enterprises in Benelux regions. Released on February 18, 2025, it provides localized system prompts, voicemail templates, and administrative interfaces compliant with EU Directive 2024/IT-018 on multilingual telecommunication systems.
Designed for CUCM versions 12.5(1)SU2 through 12.5(3), the package utilizes Cisco’s Secure Generic Negotiation (SGN) signature format to ensure authenticity during deployment.
2. Key Features and Improvements
