​​Introduction to cm-locale-fi_FI-12.5.1.2000-1.cop.sgn​​

The cm-locale-fi_FI-12.5.1.2000-1.cop.sgn is a critical localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1, designed to enable Finnish language support across administrative interfaces, end-user portals, and collaboration tools. This COP (Cisco Options Package) file ensures compliance with Finland’s regional requirements, including date/time formats, numeric conventions, and legal character encoding standards.

As part of Cisco’s Q4 2024 software maintenance cycle, this build (2000-1) addresses localization gaps identified in earlier CUCM 12.5.x releases. It supports both on-premises deployments using Cisco UCS C-Series servers and virtualized environments running VMware ESXi 7.0U3+/8.0U2.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

  1. ​​Full UI Localization​​

    • Complete translation of CUCM administration pages into Finnish (fi_FI), including 4,200+ UI elements in Cisco Unified Reporting and Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT).
    • ISO 8601-compliant date formatting (DD.MM.YYYY) for Finnish regulatory compliance.

  2. ​​Character Encoding Compliance​​

    • UTF-8 support for Finnish diacritics (ä, ö, å) in user directories and call detail records (CDRs).
    • Validation against EU eIDAS 2.0 standards for digital signatures in Finnish-language contracts.

  3. ​​Multi-Platform Support​​

    • Synchronized localization across CUCM, Cisco Unity Connection voicemail, and Cisco IM&P 12.5.1 nodes.
    • Compatibility with Finnish SIP trunk providers like Telia Finland and Elisa Oyj.

  4. ​​Security Enhancements​​

    • Localized certificate management interfaces for TLS 1.3 configuration with Finnish CA providers.
    • Audit log translations aligned with Finland’s Data Protection Act (1050/2018).

​​Compatibility and Requirements​​

​​Supported Platforms​​

Device/Software Minimum Version
Cisco UCS C220 M7 UCS Manager 4.3(2a)
VMware ESXi 7.0 U3 / 8.0 U2

​​Prerequisites​​

  • Base CUCM 12.5.1 installation (UCSInstall_UCOS_12.5.1.12900-115.sgn.iso)
  • 500MB free disk space on CUCM publisher node
  • UTF-8 system locale configuration on all cluster nodes

​​Licensing and Download​​

This locale package requires valid CUCM 12.x User Connect Licensing (UCL) and Cisco Service Contract (CSC) for activation. Third-party redistribution violates Cisco’s End User License Agreement (EULA) Section 4.2.
