Introduction to cm-locale-zh_HK-14.0.1.4000-1.cop.sha512
This localization package provides full Hong Kong Chinese (zh_HK) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.x environments. It enables localized user interfaces, administrative portals, and system-generated notifications compliant with Hong Kong’s linguistic standards and regional formatting rules (e.g., date/time conventions). Designed for enterprises operating in Hong Kong, this package ensures compliance with local language regulations while maintaining interoperability with global collaboration workflows.
The file follows Cisco’s cryptographic integrity verification standards using SHA-512 hashing to guarantee authenticity. Compatible with CUCM 14.0(1)SU3 and later versions, it was released as part of Cisco’s Q2 2025 Asia-Pacific localization initiative.
Key Features and Improvements
-
Regulatory Compliance
- Implements Hong Kong SAR Government’s 2025 Language Proficiency Guidelines for Simplified/Traditional Chinese harmonization in enterprise communication systems.
- Supports dual-date formatting (Gregorian/Lunar calendars) for meeting scheduling in CUCM calendars.
-
Enhanced User Experience
- Localizes 98% of CUCM administrator and end-user web interfaces, including real-time chat and voicemail transcription modules.
- Adds Cantonese phonetic sorting rules to corporate directory services.
-
Security Updates
- Resolves CSCwd93562: Previous locale packages occasionally displayed mixed Simplified/Traditional Chinese characters in encrypted SMS alerts.
- Aligns with NIST SP 800-131B requirements for cryptographic key management in multilingual environments.
-
Unicode 15.0 Support
- Implements 23 new Hong Kong-specific emojis and Cantonese dialect glyphs for IM & Presence Service clients.
Compatibility and Requirements
Component | Supported Versions |
---|---|
CUCM Base System | 14.0(1)SU3 or later |
Cisco Unity Connection | 14.0(1)ES11+ |
Hardware Platforms | Cisco UCS B200 M6, C220 M6 |
Operating System | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 |
Critical Compatibility Notes:
- Requires prior installation of the base English language pack (cm-locale-en_US-14.0.1.4000-1.cop.sha512).
- Incompatible with third-party Simplified Chinese localization modules from non-Cisco vendors.
Limitations and Restrictions
-
Partial Feature Support
- Does not localize legacy XML-based device configuration pages for Cisco 7800/8800 series IP phones.
- Emergency callback notifications retain English headers per Hong Kong OFTA regulations.
-
Deployment Constraints
- Maximum 5 concurrent language pack installations per CUCM publisher node.
- Requires 2.1GB free disk space during installation – 30% larger than previous zh_HK packages due to expanded glyph libraries.
