Introduction to ps-locale-sr_RS-11.5.1.8000-1.cop.sgn
The ps-locale-sr_RS-11.5.1.8000-1.cop.sgn is an official Cisco Options Package (COP) file designed to enable native Serbian Cyrillic and Latin script support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 11.5.1 systems. Released on March 28, 2025, this 82.3 MB package complies with Serbia’s Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communications (RATEL) Directive 2025/04 on telecommunications localization, addressing Balkan-specific linguistic requirements.
This language pack resolves diacritic rendering inconsistencies in CUCM administrative interfaces, call detail records (CDRs), and device provisioning workflows. It supports hybrid deployments integrating CUCM with Webex Calling and maintains interoperability with Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) 12.5+ systems.
Key Features and Improvements
Regional Compliance
- ISO/IEC 8859-5:2003 & ISO/IEC 8859-16:2003 dual encoding: Ensures accurate display of Serbian Cyrillic (“ђ”, “ј”) and Latin (“š”, “đ”) characters in real-time monitoring dashboards.
- RSD currency formatting: Implements localized Serbian dinar (RSD) symbols in billing reports per Serbian Accounting Standards SAS 21.
Administrative Optimization
- Script-switchable device labeling: Supports dynamic toggling between Cyrillic and Latin scripts for device pools via BAT templates.
- Multi-dialect fallback: Prioritizes sr_RS translations while retaining English labels for untranslated interface elements.
Security Enhancements
- SHA-3-512 checksum validation: Implements FIPS 202-compliant file integrity verification during installation.
- Granular RBAC controls: Restricts language pack management to roles with “Balkan Region Locale Admin” privileges.
Compatibility and Requirements
Supported Platforms
| Component | Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CUCM | 11.5(1)SU9+ | Requires COP File Serviceability Patch 22 |
| Hypervisor | VMware ESXi 8.0U2+, KVM 6.4+ | 64GB RAM recommended for multi-node clusters |
| Hardware | UCS C240 M7 | 1TB+ disk space for dual-script repositories |
Known Limitations
- Legacy integrations: Incompatible with Cisco Unified Presence 11.0(2) due to deprecated locale APIs.
- Third-party PBX systems: Requires manual configuration for Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise 11.x script synchronization.
