Introduction to ps-locale-de_CH-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512

This software package provides Swiss German (de_CH) localization support for Cisco Collaboration solutions, specifically designed for Unified Communications Manager 14.0.1 deployments. As a critical localization component, it enables system interfaces, error messages, and documentation to display in Switzerland’s official German variant, adhering to regional linguistic standards.

Compatible with Cisco Collaboration Manager 14.0.1 and later versions, this SHA512-signed COP file ensures cryptographic verification of package integrity during installation. The 2000-1 revision number indicates it contains updated terminology mappings from Cisco’s November 2024 linguistic review cycle.
