Introduction to cm-locale-fr_FR-12.5.1.2100-1.cop.sgn
The cm-locale-fr_FR-12.5.1.2100-1.cop.sgn is a specialized localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1) systems requiring French language support compliant with France’s Autorité de Régulation des Communications Électroniques (ARCEP) standards. This Cisco Options Package (COP) file provides full translation of administrative interfaces, emergency service routing tables (ESRTs), and PSTN normalization rules aligned with Paris-specific emergency services and Euro (EUR) billing formats.
Released in Q3 2025 under Cisco’s Extended Security Maintenance program, this build (2100-1) addresses critical localization gaps reported in EU region deployments. It supports hybrid architectures integrating Cisco Webex Calling with on-premises infrastructure while complying with France’s National Numbering Plan (NPNG-2025).
