Introduction to uc-locale-el_GR-14.0.0.1-83.cop.sha512
This SHA512-certified Cisco Options Package (COP) provides complete Modern Greek (el_GR) localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM) 14.0 deployments, addressing ISO/IEC 8859-7:2003 encoding requirements for Eastern Mediterranean markets. Designed to resolve polytonic accent rendering in administrative interfaces and call detail records, it implements comprehensive support for Greek numeral formatting (αʹ, βʹ, γʹ) and date/time displays compliant with Greek government standards.
The “_sha512” suffix confirms FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic integrity checks, essential for enterprises requiring compliance with EU NIS2 Directive cybersecurity mandates. Cisco’s Q1 2025 collaboration release notes indicate this patch resolves 4 locale-specific vulnerabilities in UCM 14.x clusters, including improper Unicode normalization of Greek diacritics in Cisco Unity Connection 14.9 interfaces.
Certified for UCM 14.0(1)SU5 and later versions, the package requires 3.5GB storage per cluster node and integrates with Cisco Prime Collaboration 15.3 for centralized linguistic governance.
