Introduction to ps-locale-zh_TW-15.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
This locale package provides Traditional Chinese (zh_TW) language support for Cisco Collaboration Software 15.0.1 and later. Released on March 27, 2025, it enables full localization of administrative interfaces, device displays, and system logs compliant with Taiwan’s Cybersecurity Management Act 2025 revisions. The SHA512 checksum ensures cryptographic validation of file integrity during distribution cycles, aligning with Cisco’s enhanced security framework for enterprise communication systems.

- Dual-language fallback system (Traditional Chinese > English) for error handling
2. Technical Optimizations
- 45% faster language activation via compressed .cop file format
- SHA512 hash verification prevents unauthorized file modifications
- 20% reduced memory footprint compared to legacy locale packs
3. User Experience Improvements
