Introduction to uc-locale-fr_CA-12.5.0.1-64.cop.sha512

This SHA512-signed localization package provides comprehensive Canadian French language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5 deployments. Designed to optimize administrative workflows for French-Canadian IT teams, it translates 98% of system interfaces including configuration menus, diagnostic logs, and real-time monitoring tools.

The update resolves 29 translation inconsistencies reported in previous French-Canadian language packs across collaboration platforms.
