Introduction to cm-locale-tr_TR-12.5.1.5000-1.cop.sgn
This Cisco Options Package (COP) delivers comprehensive Turkish localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1) systems, complying with Turkey’s Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK) Directive 2024/7-A on telecommunications software localization. The package translates administrative interfaces, system alerts, and numerical formats to align with ISO/IEC 8859-9 (Latin-5) character encoding standards for Anatolian Turkish.
Released under Engineering Special ID ESTR1255000-1, it supports both VMware ESXi 8.0+ virtualized environments and physical UCS C240 M6/M7 servers. The “5000-1” build identifier confirms January 2025 compilation with SHA3-512 cryptographic validation, specifically engineered for enterprises requiring BTK-compliant communication systems.
