Introduction to ps-locale-zh_CN-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
The ps-locale-zh_CN-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512 is an official Chinese (Simplified) localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) version 14.0.1, designed to meet the linguistic, regulatory, and technical requirements of Mainland China and other Mandarin-speaking regions. This software provides full localization of CUCM administrative interfaces (e.g., Cisco Unified Reporting), user self-service portals, and Cisco IP Phone 8800/8900 series displays, compliant with GB 18030-2022 character encoding standards.
Released under Cisco’s Global Localization Framework in Q2 2025, it supports locale-specific formats such as date notation (yyyy-mm-dd), currency symbols (CNY), and decimal separators aligned with Chinese national standards. The package integrates with CUCM’s collaboration tools, including voicemail transcription services and real-time call analytics dashboards, while maintaining backward compatibility with CUCM 14.0.1 SU1 deployments.
