Introduction to ps-locale-de_CH-12.5.1.5000-1.cop.sgn
The ps-locale-de_CH-12.5.1.5000-1.cop.sgn is a specialized localization component for Cisco’s Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1, designed to implement Swiss German language support across Webex Calling, Jabber, and Meeting Server platforms. Released under Cisco’s European Language Compliance Initiative in Q2 2025, this COP (Cisco Options Package) file ensures adherence to Switzerland’s multilingual communication laws (Art. 70 BV) and ISO 639-2 language standards.
Core capabilities include:
- Full translation of administrative interfaces into Swiss German (de_CH)
- Right-to-left text rendering optimizations for bilingual environments
- CH-specific formatting for dates (DD.MM.YYYY) and numeric values
