Introduction to cm-locale-de_AT-12.5.1.5000-1.cop.sgn Software
This language pack provides Austrian German (de_AT) localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1), addressing regional compliance requirements for enterprise voice systems in German-speaking markets. Released under Cisco’s Q3 2025 language support roadmap, it ensures accurate translation of 1,200+ interface elements across administrative portals, user devices, and API responses.
The software integrates with CUCM clusters running 12.5(1) SU2 or later, supporting both on-premises deployments and Cisco-hosted Collaboration SaaS instances. Version 5000-1 resolves 18 linguistic inconsistencies identified in the previous 12.0(1) release cycle, including dialect-specific terminologies for emergency calling (Notrufnummern) and GDPR-compliant user consent prompts.
