Introduction to cm-locale-zh_TW-14.0.1.4000-1.cop.sha512
This critical localization component enables full Traditional Chinese (zh_TW) language support for Cisco Collaboration solutions, specifically designed for deployments in Taiwan and other Mandarin-speaking regions. As part of Cisco’s global collaboration strategy, this SHA512-signed COP (Cisco Options Package) file ensures secure delivery of language resources for Unified Communications Manager 14.0.1 environments.
The software package contains localized GUI elements, voice prompts, and documentation translated by Cisco-certified linguists. Its SHA512 cryptographic hash verification guarantees file integrity during distribution – a security best practice aligning with FIPS 180-2 standards for digital signatures. Cisco officially released this version on April 8, 2025, as part of its quarterly localization update cycle for Collaboration Suite 14.x.
