1. Introduction to cm-locale-de_DE-12.5.1.3000-1.cop.sgn
This software component serves as the official German localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1)SU3, designed to enable native language support in administrative interfaces and system outputs. Released as part of Cisco’s global accessibility initiative, it translates 98.7% of GUI elements and error messages while maintaining compliance with ITU-T E.123 telephone numbering standards for German-speaking regions.
The package specifically targets CUCM versions 12.5(1)SU3 and later, with backward compatibility maintained for 12.5(1)SU2 deployments through automatic fallback mechanisms. Its development aligns with Cisco’s Internationalization (I18N) framework, ensuring proper handling of umlaut characters (ä, ö, ü) and Euro currency symbols in call detail records.
