Introduction to cm-locale-pl_PL-12.5.1.6000-1.cop.sgn
This locale package enables native Polish language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1 systems, addressing regional formatting requirements for date/time displays, numeric conventions, and administrative interfaces. Released on February 28, 2025, version 12.5.1.6000-1 implements ISO/IEC 8859-2 (Latin-2) character encoding with UTF-8 fallback capabilities, ensuring compatibility with Poland’s linguistic standards.
Designed for multinational enterprises operating in Central Europe, the package resolves 9 locale-specific UI display issues reported in CUCM 12.5.1 SU2 environments. It supports 32-bit/64-bit hybrid deployments and aligns with Cisco’s 2025 Q1 language pack roadmap for EMEA markets.
