Introduction to ps-locale-it_IT-12.5.1.7000-1.cop.sha512
The ps-locale-it_IT-12.5.1.7000-1.cop.sha512 is an official Cisco localization package enabling Italian (Italy) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1 systems. Released on March 12, 2025, this SHA512-signed COP file implements ISO 639-3:2024-compliant translations for administrative interfaces, device configurations, and API responses, tailored to Italy’s regional telecommunications standards. Designed for enterprises operating in Italian-speaking markets, it addresses compliance requirements under Italy’s Communications Regulatory Authority (AGCOM) for localized communication systems.
This language pack supports hybrid deployments integrating on-premises CUCM clusters with Webex Calling services, ensuring consistent UI translations for Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series endpoints and Webex App users.
