Introduction to ps-locale-fr_CH-12.5.1.6000-1.cop.sgn
This Swiss French localization package enables full linguistic compliance for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1) deployments, addressing Switzerland’s Federal Communications Office 2026 regulations on localized telecom interfaces. Released under Cisco’s European Language Compliance Initiative in Q1 2026, it implements Central European Time (CET/CEST) synchronization and CHF currency formatting while supporting French diacritics (é, è, ê) in device interfaces.
