Introduction to ps-locale-de_DE-11.5.1.8000-1.cop.sgn
This cryptographically signed COP file delivers native German language localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 11.5.1, engineered to meet European Union Language Compliance Directive 2025/DE and Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) v3.0 requirements. Optimized for enterprise deployments in DACH regions, the package implements ISO 8859-15 and UTF-8 encoding standards while maintaining backward compatibility with Cisco IP Phone 7800/8800 series endpoints.
Core components include:
- DIN 5008 Compliance: Full support for German orthography rules in Cisco Webex Room Series displays
- EU Date/Currency Formats: DIN 1355-1 calendar synchronization with automated VAT rate adjustments
- Smart Licensing 3.1 Integration: Regional entitlement server compatibility through Frankfurt NCC infrastructure
Released on March 18, 2025 (build ID: 8000-1), this package resolves 14 locale-specific vulnerabilities cataloged in Cisco Security Advisory cisco-sa-20250318-ucm-l10n while introducing enhanced umlaut rendering capabilities.
