Introduction to cm-locale-fi_FI-12.5.1.3000-1.cop.sgn
This Cisco Collaboration Software package provides Finnish (Finland) localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1 deployments, designed to meet Nordic enterprise communication requirements. The “.sgn” extension indicates cryptographically signed validation, ensuring package integrity through Cisco’s Secure Hash Algorithm 512 (SHA-512) verification process. Key functionalities include:
- Finnish language interface translation for administrative consoles
- ISO 8601:2023 calendar synchronization for EU compliance
- Euro currency formatting in billing reports
Compatible with CUCM clusters running on UCS C240 M5 servers or newer hardware, this locale pack requires base system version 12.5.1.2998+ and Cisco Unity Connection 12.5(1a). The package was officially released on 2025-03-18 as part of Cisco’s Q2 regional localization updates.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Enhanced Linguistic Support

- Context-aware translation for technical VoIP terminology
- Automated pluralization rules for system alerts
2. Security Enhancements
- Dual-layer SHA-512 validation (file content + metadata)
- FIPS 180-4 compliant verification workflow
- Hardware Security Module (HSM) integration for enterprise deployments
3. Regional Compliance
- SFS-EN 28601 date/time formatting standards
- VAT-compliant numeric representations
