Introduction to ps-locale-sk_SK-12.5.1.7000-1.cop.sha512
The ps-locale-sk_SK-12.5.1.7000-1.cop.sha512 software package provides comprehensive Slovak (sk_SK) localization support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) deployments, specifically designed for enterprises and government agencies operating in Slovakia. Released in Q4 2025 as part of Cisco’s European Localization Initiative, this update ensures compliance with Slovak language standards (STN 01 8800) for date/time formats, currency symbols, and regulatory requirements across CUCM administrative interfaces and endpoint devices.
Compatible with CUCM versions 12.5(1)SU9 and later, the package supports Cisco Business Edition 7000 Series appliances and virtual CUCM clusters running on VMware ESXi 7.0+/KVM 4.0.2+. It aligns with Slovakia’s Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications (RÚ) technical requirements for telecommunications systems and GDPR-compliant data handling.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Regional Formatting Compliance
- Date/Time Standardization: Implements Slovak date formatting (DD.MM.YYYY) and 24-hour time notation in system logs, Call Detail Records (CDR), and billing reports.
- Currency Handling: Updates invoice templates with Euro (€) symbol placement and decimal separator rules (e.g., 1 234,56 €) per European Central Bank standards.
2. UI Localization Enhancements
- Resolves 29 UI truncation issues in critical menus such as Call Routing > Route Groups and User Management > Device Settings, ensuring seamless Slovak translations.
- Adds Slovak keyboard mapping for Cisco IP Phone 8865/8861 endpoints and Webex Desk Pro devices, including support for diacritical marks (č, š, ž).
3. Security & Regulatory Updates
- Patches SIP message parsing vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-2099) identified in CUCM 12.5(1)SU8, improving denial-of-service (DoS) resilience.
- Updates emergency service labels for Slovakia (e.g., 112 for general emergencies, 155 for medical services) in location-based routing configurations.
- Implements SHA-512 encryption for configuration files, replacing deprecated SHA-1 algorithms to meet EU cybersecurity directives.
