Introduction to cm-locale-ja_JP-12.5.1.8001-1.cop.sha512

This SHA512-verified Cisco Operations Package (COP) provides comprehensive Japanese language localization for ​​Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1​​, addressing Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) and MIC Ordinance No. 74 telecom standards. Released on October 1, 2024, it implements Reiwa-era date formats, full-width character support, and localized emergency service labels (110/119/118) compliant with JIS X 0213:2024 encoding standards.
