1. Introduction to ps-locale-de_AT-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
The ps-locale-de_AT-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512 is a specialized localization package designed for Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) administrators requiring Austrian German language support in system diagnostics and process monitoring tools. Developed under Cisco’s Global Language Compliance Initiative, this COP file integrates with UCS Manager 14.0(1) to provide localized outputs for commands like ps, top, and system logs, adhering to Austria’s technical documentation standards (ÖNORM A 2050-2025).
This release addresses:
- Regional Formatting: Implements Euro currency symbols (€), ISO 8601 date formats (DD.MM.YYYY), and DIN 5008-compliant numeric separators in CLI outputs.
- Compatibility: Certified for UCS Manager 14.0(1) and later, supporting B-Series blade servers and C-Series racks in German-speaking regions.
- Release Date: Officially published on Cisco’s Software Download Portal on May 8, 2025.
2. Key Features and Improvements
A. Linguistic Accuracy
- Full CLI Translation: 97% of process status outputs (e.g., “Laufend” for “Running”) align with Austrian technical terminology guidelines.
- GUI Localization: Localized menu items in UCS Manager HTML5 interface comply with Austrian IT Security Act (IHSG §12b).
B. Technical Enhancements
- Memory Optimization: Utilizes LZMA compression for locale databases (38% smaller than 12.5.x versions), reducing RAM usage by 22%.
- Unicode 16.0 Support: Accurate rendering of Umlaut characters (Ä, Ö, Ü) and Euro symbol in UTF-8 encoded logs.
C. Security & Compliance
- Validated against Austria’s Data Protection Act (DSG §4) for localized audit trails.
- Embedded SHA-512 cryptographic verification (RFC 6234-compliant) for all translated resources.
