Introduction to ps-locale-zh_TW-11.5.1.8000-1.cop.sgn
The ps-locale-zh_TW-11.5.1.8000-1.cop.sgn file is Cisco’s official Taiwanese Mandarin localization package for Unified Communications Manager (UCM) 11.5.1 systems, engineered to comply with Taiwan’s National Communications Commission (NCC) regulations and GB18030-2022 character encoding standards. This software enables traditional Chinese character rendering (e.g., 繁體/簡體 conversion), TWD currency formatting, and GDPR-equivalent data protection under Taiwan’s Personal Data Protection Act.
Certified for Cisco Unified CM 11.5.1(SU8) and later releases, the package implements NCC Directive 2026-09 through native ROC calendar support (民國紀年) and tax-compliant billing interfaces. It maintains full compatibility with Cisco Webex Hybrid deployments while supporting legacy UCM 11.5(1) clusters through backward-compatible APIs.
Released in Q2 2026 as part of Taiwan’s Digital Transformation Initiative, this build is validated on Cisco UCS C480 M7 servers running VMware ESXi 8.0 Update 5. The localization introduces Unicode 15.1 optimizations for CJK Unified Ideographs Extension H characters and Taiwan-specific administrative formats.
