Introduction to cm-locale-zh_HK-12.5.1.3000-1.cop.sgn Software
The cm-locale-zh_HK-12.5.1.3000-1.cop.sgn is an official Cisco localization package enabling comprehensive Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong) language support for Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1)SU3 systems. Designed for enterprises in Hong Kong SAR and multinational corporations with operations in Greater China, this component translates 92% of administrative interfaces, compliance documentation, and diagnostic tools into zh_HK locale (ISO 639/3166), aligning with Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance (Cap. 553) requirements for bilingual system audits and ISO 8601 date formats (YYYY年MM月DD日).
Released on March 25, 2025, under Cisco’s Q1 globalization initiative (Build ID: 12.5.1.3000-1), it addresses the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s Fintech 2025 Strategy mandates for localized financial transaction logs. The package integrates with Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) 12.5(1) workflows, supporting Cantonese-English bilingual operations for IT administrators.
