Introduction to cm-locale-it_IT-12.5.1.5000-1.cop.sgn

This digitally signed COP file provides official Italian localization support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1, enabling full linguistic compliance for enterprises operating under European Union telecommunications regulations. Released under Cisco’s Q4 2024 globalization roadmap, it implements Italy-specific formatting for date/time displays (DD/MM/YYYY), currency symbols (€), and VAT-compliant call detail records (CDRs).

The package modifies 18 core CUCM services including Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT), Bulk Administration Tool (BAT), and Cisco Unified Reporting. Compatible with clusters running CUCM 12.5(1)SU1 or later, it requires UTF-8 character encoding and aligns with ISO 8601 regional standards for Southern European deployments.
