Introduction to ps-locale-tr_TR-11.5.1.8000-1.cop.sgn Software
The ps-locale-tr_TR-11.5.1.8000-1.cop.sgn is a specialized localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 11.5 systems, designed to enable full Turkish language compliance with Turkey’s Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK) regulations. This software implements Unicode 15.0 Turkish character processing, country-specific emergency service configurations, and Ottoman calendar integration for enterprise communication systems operating in Eurasian markets.
Released in Q3 2025 (build 8000-1), this package aligns with Turkey’s Law No. 5809 on electronic communications and supports modern Turkish script variations including dotted/dotless “i” character handling. Compatible platforms include:
- Cisco Unified CM 11.5(1)SU12 and later
- Cisco Emergency Responder 12.5(6)+ with Turkish emergency number mapping
- VMware ESXi 8.0 U1 virtualized environments
Key Features and Improvements
1. Advanced Turkish Language Processing
- Contextual Character Rendering: Handles Turkish-specific character variations (e.g., İ/i, I/ı) through Unicode Turkish Extended-A specifications
- Localized Emergency Services: Auto-configures BTK-mandated emergency numbers (112/155) with Anatolian dialect voice prompts
- Dual Calendar System: Synchronizes Gregorian calendar with Ottoman fiscal calendar for historical record-keeping
2. Regulatory Compliance
- BTK 2025-03 Certification: Meets Turkey’s telecom infrastructure requirements for RTL/LTR mixed-text SMS routing
- KVKK Data Protection: Implements Turkish personal data anonymization in CDR/CMR records per Law No. 6698
- FIPS 140-3 Cryptographic Localization: Turkish-compatible encryption for SIP/VoIP communications
3. Technical Enhancements
- 35% faster Turkish text processing compared to legacy locale versions
- Optimized memory allocation for bidirectional text buffers (220MB → 150MB per node)
- Native integration with Cisco Webex Hybrid Turkish Speech Recognition engine
