Introduction to cm-locale-en_GB-12.5.1.6000-1.cop.sgn

This British English localization package enables language-specific formatting for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1) deployments, addressing regional requirements for date/time displays, numeric conventions, and currency symbols. Designed for multi-national enterprises, it implements ISO 8601 date formatting (DD/MM/YYYY) and GBP currency localization in call detail records (CDRs) and user interfaces.

Certified for CUCM clusters running 12.5(1)SU6 or later, the package supports hybrid deployments across physical UCS C240 M6 servers and VMware ESXi 7.0U3+ environments. Cisco’s Q4 2023 release notes confirm compatibility with Jabber 12.9 clients and Webex App 42.8+ for consistent localization across collaboration endpoints.
