Introduction to ps-locale-de_DE-12.5.1.8000-1.cop.sha512

This software package provides full German locale (de_DE) support for Cisco Collaboration platforms running version 12.5.1, ensuring proper localization of system interfaces, logs, and regional formatting rules. Designed for Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) and IM & Presence Service deployments, it aligns date/time formats, numeric conventions, and language translations with ISO 8601 standards for German-speaking regions.

Released on February 15, 2025, as part of Cisco’s Q1 localization update cycle, this SHA512-signed COP file integrates seamlessly with existing Collaboration deployments while maintaining backward compatibility with 12.x software branches.
