Introduction to uc-locale-de_DE-15.0.0.1-16.cop.sha512
This SHA512-verified COP file provides German language localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 15.0.0.1 systems. Designed to meet EU language compliance mandates under Directive 2024/EC, it enables full administrative interface customization for German-speaking regions while maintaining FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic protocols. The package includes localized phone UI text, DIN 5008-compliant formats, and region-specific telephony features required for GDPR-aligned deployments in DACH countries.
Officially released on March 12, 2025, this localization package supports CUCM 15.0.0.1 SU2 (Service Update 2) deployments on Cisco UCS C-Series servers and HyperFlex HX220 nodes. The build (15.0.0.1-16) resolves 12 localization-related defects reported in previous CUCM 15.x versions.
