Introduction to cm-locale-fr_CH-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn Software
The cm-locale-fr_CH-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn delivers native Swiss French localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) platforms, addressing multilingual enterprise requirements in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Officially released in Q2 2025 under CUCM 12.5 Feature Update 4, this package implements ISO/IEC 15897 standards for fr-CH locale compliance, ensuring accurate rendering of currency symbols (CHF), date formats (DD.MM.YYYY), and keyboard layouts specific to Romandy regions.
Designed for government agencies and financial institutions, the software supports Switzerland’s Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) requirements through integrated text sanitization protocols for call detail records (CDRs). Compatibility extends to Cisco’s IP Phone 7800/8800 Series with dual-language display capabilities.
