Introduction to cm-locale-no_NO-12.5.1.2100-1.cop.sgn

The ​​cm-locale-no_NO-12.5.1.2100-1.cop.sgn​​ is a cryptographically signed Cisco Options Package (COP) providing official Norwegian (Bokmål) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 12.5(1)SU9 and later deployments. Released in Q4 2024, this localization package translates 3,800+ interface elements across administrative consoles, emergency response systems, and collaboration tools to comply with Norway’s Electronic Communications Act § 9-5 (2024) and Post- og teletilsynet (Nkom) Technical Regulation 2024-3.

Designed for enterprises in Oslo, Bergen, and other Norwegian-speaking regions, it implements UTF-8 encoding for Norwegian-specific characters (æ, ø, å) while maintaining interoperability with Nordic emergency service protocols. The package supports dynamic date formatting (DD.MM.YYYY) aligned with NS-ISO 8601:2024 standards.
