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

The ps-locale-ko_KR-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn software package provides comprehensive Korean (ko_KR) localization support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) environments, targeting enterprises and government agencies in South Korea. Released in Q3 2025, this update ensures compliance with the Korean Industrial Standards (KS X 1001) for text encoding, date/time formats, and regulatory labeling across CUCM administrative interfaces and endpoint devices.

Compatible with CUCM versions 12.5(1)SU5 and later, this package supports Cisco Business Edition 6000K Series appliances and virtual CUCM clusters running on VMware ESXi 7.0+/KVM 4.0+. It aligns with Cisco’s 2025 Asia-Pacific Localization Initiative to meet South Korea’s Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) guidelines.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. Regional Formatting Compliance​​

  • ​​Date/Time Localization​​: Implements ​​YYYY-MM-DD​​ formatting in CUCM’s Unified Reporting and Serviceability portals, adhering to KS X 1001 standards.
  • ​​Currency Handling​​: Updates billing templates with Korean Won (₩) symbol placement and comma-based decimal rules (e.g., ₩1,234,567).

​​2. UI Translation Accuracy​​

  • Resolves 52 UI truncation issues in Korean translations for menus like ​​Call Routing > Route/Hunt Groups​​ and ​​User Management > Device Settings​​.
  • Adds Hangul keyboard mapping for Cisco IP Phone 8865/8861 endpoints and Webex Desk Pro devices.

​​3. Regulatory Enhancements​​

  • Updates emergency service labels for South Korea (e.g., 112 for police, 119 for fire/medical emergencies) in location-based routing configurations.
  • Integrates GDPR-equivalent terminology in Korean user consent prompts and audit logs, complying with South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).
