Introduction to cm-locale-zh_HK-12.5.1.2100-1.cop.sgn Software
The cm-locale-zh_HK-12.5.1.2100-1.cop.sgn is an official Cisco localization package enabling Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong) language support for Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1)SU2 systems. Tailored for enterprises in Hong Kong and Macau, this component translates administrative interfaces, device configurations, and diagnostic tools into zh_HK (ISO 639/3166 locale code), adhering to regional standards for date/time formats (YYYY年MM月DD日) and HKD currency symbols.
Released on October 10, 2024, under Cisco’s Q4 localization roadmap (Build ID: 12.5.1.2100-1), it addresses compliance with Hong Kong SAR’s Chapter 486 Personal Data Privacy Ordinance by localizing audit logs and user consent prompts. The package integrates with Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) 12.5(1) workflows, supporting Cantonese-English bilingual operations for IT teams.
