Introduction to cm-locale-zh_CN-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512
This SHA512-validated localization package provides native Simplified Chinese (zh_CN) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v14.x environments, designed to meet GB18030-2022 character encoding standards. As part of Cisco’s globalization strategy, it enables complete UI/UX translation across administrative portals, emergency service protocols, and device interfaces in mainland China-compliant formats.
Released in Q2 2025 as CUCM 14.0(1)SU10 component, this package resolves multi-byte character rendering errors observed in previous Chinese locale implementations. Certified for deployment with Cisco IP Phone 8865/8861 endpoints, Webex Room Kit Pro, and Catalyst 9400/9500 series switches running IOS XE 19.4.1a.
