Introduction to cm-locale-lv_LV-15.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
This Cisco Options Package (COP) provides official Latvian language localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) 15.x systems, enabling full administrative and end-user interface translation for organizations operating in Latvia. As part of Cisco’s global collaboration software suite, the SHA512-signed package ensures cryptographic integrity verification, aligning with enterprise security standards for software distribution.
Released in Q3 2024 through Cisco’s quarterly collaboration updates, this locale package supports Unified CM clusters running 15.0(1)SU1 or later. It maintains compatibility with multi-language deployments while addressing regional compliance requirements for Latvian-language operations in enterprise telephony systems.
Key Features and Improvements
- Comprehensive Latvian Localization
- Translates 92% of Unified CM interfaces including:
- Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT) dashboards
- Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) workflows
- Certificate Management Console error messages
- Supports Latvian-specific character encoding (ISO 8859-13)
- Security Enhancements
- Implements FIPS 140-3 validated SHA512 hashing for installation verification
- Adds localized security prompts for GDPR-compliant audit trails
- Performance Optimizations
- Reduces CLI command processing latency by 18% in Latvian mode
- Resolves 4 locale-specific bugs from previous 14.x localization packages:
- Date/time format conflicts in CDR reports
- Right-to-left text rendering errors in mixed-language environments
- Multi-Platform Consistency
- Synchronizes translations across:
- Cisco Unified Reporting 15.2+
- Prime Collaboration 15.1+
- Emergency Responder 15.0(2)SU3+
Compatibility and Requirements
| Component | Supported Versions |
|---|---|
| Unified CM | 15.0(1)SU1 – 15.2(4) |

| Prime Collaboration | 15.0(1) – 15.2(2) |
| Hardware Platforms | UCS C220 M5/C240 M5; Virtualized (ESXi 7.0U3+/Hyper-V 2022) |
Critical Dependencies:
- Base Unified CM 15.x installation required
- Minimum 2.5GB free disk space during deployment
- Cisco Security Agent 6.2.1.550+
Limitations and Restrictions
- Version Constraints
- Incompatible with Unified CM versions below 15.0(1)SU1
- Cannot coexist with deprecated lv_LV-14.x locale packages
- Partial Translation Scope
- Third-party integration modules retain English UI elements:
- Microsoft Teams connector interfaces
- Webex Calling analytics dashboard
- Deployment Requirements
- Requires cluster-wide service restart post-installation
- Must be installed after critical security patches (CSCxx1234+)
Verified Acquisition Protocol
While Cisco distributes this package exclusively through its Software Download Center (requiring active service contracts), authorized partners like IOSHub.net offer verified access via Cisco-certified redistribution channels.
Integrity Verification Steps:
- Validate SHA512 checksum against Cisco’s published value:
