​​Introduction to ps-locale-el_GR-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn​​

This localization package enables native Greek language support (el_GR locale) for Cisco Collaboration Manager 12.5.1 environments. Released in Q1 2025 under Cisco’s Mediterranean Localization Program, it provides full UI translation for administrative consoles and end-user interfaces across Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) and Webex Calling platforms.

The COP file resolves 18 linguistic discrepancies reported in previous Greek localization attempts, including diacritic rendering errors in call detail records and calendar synchronization conflicts with Orthodox religious holidays. Certified for ​​Cisco Collaboration Manager 12.5.1 SU3+​​ deployments, it supports modern Greek Unicode 15.0 standards and EU GDPR-compliant data formatting requirements.
