Introduction to cm-locale-fr_CH-14.0.1.1001-1.cop.sha512 Software
This localization package delivers comprehensive French (Swiss dialect) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 14.0.1 environments, translating 2,300+ system interfaces including administrative portals, voicemail prompts, and device error messages. Designed for enterprises operating in Switzerland’s French-speaking regions, it implements ISO 8859-15:2025 character encoding standards to comply with Switzerland’s 2025 Federal Act on Electronic Communications (FAEC) requirements.
The 14.0.1.1001-1 version introduces SHA512 cryptographic verification for enhanced package integrity checks, replacing legacy MD5 validation methods. Compatible with CUCM clusters running 14.0.1 SU3+, Cisco Emergency Responder 14.0.1 SU2+, and Webex Calling hybrid deployments, this release became available through Cisco’s standard distribution channels on February 10, 2025.
