Introduction to cm-locale-el_GR-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn

This Cisco Options Package (COP) provides full Greek language localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1 systems, specifically engineered to comply with Hellenic Telecommunications & Post Commission (EETT) regulations. Released through Cisco’s Q3 2024 European Localization Initiative, the package implements Unicode 14.0 support for Modern Greek characters and regional formatting requirements.
