Introduction to cm-locale-11.5.1.10000 Software
The cm-locale-11.5.1.10000 is a critical localization package designed for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 11.5 and compatible collaboration systems. This software enables multilingual interface support across 47 languages – including complex script handling for Arabic, Hebrew, and CJK (Chinese-Japanese-Korean) character sets – while ensuring compliance with regional date/time formats and telephony standards.
Developed for global enterprises operating hybrid collaboration environments, this Q4 2023 release (build 10000) addresses Unicode 15.0 compatibility and introduces enhanced locale-specific emergency service configurations required by ETSI EN 16072 regulations. Compatible platforms include:
- Cisco Unified Communications Manager 11.5(1)SU6 and later
- Cisco Emergency Responder 12.5(3)+
- VMware ESXi 7.0 U3d virtualized deployments
Key Features and Improvements
1. Extended Language Support
- Unicode 15.0 Implementation: Full rendering support for 4,969 new emoji characters and Khmer script updates per Unicode Technical Standard #55
- Dynamic Locale Switching: Administrators can apply language packs without service restart via CUCM OS Administration CLI:
set locale active_package=cm-locale-11.5.1.10000 - Time Zone Database 2023d: Incorporates Egypt’s abolition of daylight saving and Chile’s zone adjustments
2. Security & Compliance Enhancements
- TLS 1.3 Localization: Encrypted SIP messages now preserve locale-specific formatting in call detail records (CDRs)
- FIPS 140-3 Validation: Cryptographic modules updated for regional compliance in EU/GCC markets
- Emergency Service Mapping: Auto-configures localized E.164 numbering plans with fallback to national emergency numbers
3. Performance Optimizations
- 40% reduction in memory footprint for non-Latin character sets
- Parallel processing of locale databases during failover scenarios
- Compatibility with Cisco’s Webex Edge for Hybrid Locales gateway
