1. Introduction to cm-locale-fr_CH-14.0.1.1003-1.cop.sha512
This Cisco Options Package (COP) enables full Swiss French language localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1 environments, addressing Switzerland’s multilingual compliance requirements under the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP 2023). Designed for enterprises operating in French-speaking Swiss cantons, it provides:
- Legal Compliance: Implements date/time formats (JJ.MM.AAAA) and currency symbols (CHF) per Swiss Federal Chancellery standards
- Multi-Platform Support: Localized interfaces for 8800 Series IP Phones, Webex App v14.2+, and CUCM administrative portals
- Cryptographic Assurance: Dual-layer SHA512 verification ensures file integrity from download through deployment
Released on March 15, 2025, this package underwent 2,800+ linguistic validation cycles certified by Cisco’s Globalization Center of Excellence (GCoE). The “.cop” extension confirms its modular deployment capability in Cisco Collaboration Suite environments.
