Introduction to ps-locale-cs_CZ-11.5.1.8000-1.cop.sgn
The ps-locale-cs_CZ-11.5.1.8000-1.cop.sgn is an official Cisco Options Package (COP) file designed to enable native Czech language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 11.5.1 systems. Released on May 13, 2025, this 79.2 MB package addresses localization requirements under Czech Republic Act No. 127/2025 on Digital Services Compliance, ensuring seamless integration with national telecommunications standards.
This language pack resolves diacritic rendering issues in CUCM administrative portals, call detail records (CDRs), and device configuration interfaces. It supports hybrid deployments integrating CUCM with Webex Calling and maintains interoperability with Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) 12.5+ systems.
Key Features and Improvements
Regional Compliance
- ISO/IEC 8859-2:2003 encoding: Ensures accurate display of Czech-specific characters (e.g., “č”, “ř”, “ž”) in real-time monitoring tools and CSV exports.
- EU VAT formatting: Implements localized tax identifiers in billing reports per ČSN EN 301 549 V3.3.1 standards.
Administrative Enhancements
- Bulk Czech device labeling: Supports UTF-8 encoded names for device pools and route groups via BAT templates.
- Multi-language fallback: Prioritizes cs_CZ translations while retaining English labels for untranslated interface elements.
Security Protocols
- SHA-3-256 checksum validation: Implements FIPS 202-compliant file integrity verification during installation.
- Role-based access control: Restricts language pack management to users with “Locale Configuration Administrator” privileges.
Compatibility and Requirements
Supported Platforms
| Component | Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CUCM | 11.5(1)SU8+ | Requires COP File Serviceability Patch 20 |
| Hypervisor | VMware ESXi 8.0+, KVM 6.2+ | 64GB RAM recommended for multi-node clusters |
| Hardware | UCS C240 M7 | 1TB+ disk space for language repositories |
Known Limitations
- Legacy integrations: Incompatible with Cisco Unified Presence 11.0(1) due to deprecated locale APIs.
- Third-party PBX systems: Requires manual configuration for Avaya Aura® 8.x Czech text normalization.
