Introduction to uc-locale-zh_TW-12.5.0.1-31.cop.sgn
This cryptographic-signed localization package enables full Traditional Chinese (zh_TW) language support across Cisco’s Unified Communications Manager 12.5 platform. Released under Cisco’s Global Ready program in Q1 2025, it implements Taiwan-specific localization standards including CNS 11643-2024 character encoding and ROC calendar system integration.
The COP file format ensures transactional integrity through Cisco’s proprietary Smart Signature (SGN) validation, a security enhancement introduced in 2024 to combat firmware tampering. Compatible with CUCM clusters running 12.5(1)SU4 or later, this package localizes 1,842 interface elements across administration portals, endpoint UIs, and real-time collaboration services.
