Introduction to cm-locale-bg_BG-12.5.1.6000-1.cop.sgn
The cm-locale-bg_BG-12.5.1.6000-1.cop.sgn software package is a critical localization component for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) deployments requiring Bulgarian language support. Designed for enterprises operating in Bulgaria or multilingual environments, this locale package ensures proper rendering of user interfaces, date/time formats, and region-specific telephony features within CUCM 12.5.1 systems.
Released on May 12, 2025, this update aligns with Cisco’s commitment to compliance with ISO 8601 regional standards and Bulgarian telecommunications regulations. It supports CUCM clusters running version 12.5.1 SU6 or later, including both on-premises and hybrid cloud deployments.
