​​Introduction to uc-locale-fr_FR-12.5.0.1-64.cop.sha512​​

This Cisco Options Package (COP) delivers comprehensive French (France/fr_FR) localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5 environments. Released under Cisco’s Global Language Program in Q1 2025, it supports compliance with France’s Loi n° 2024-123 on digital accessibility by translating administrative interfaces, device displays, and system logs into standardized French. The “sha512” suffix denotes Secure Hash Algorithm 512-bit validation, ensuring cryptographic integrity during file distribution.

Designed for hybrid deployments integrating Webex Calling and on-premises infrastructure, this pack adheres to ISO/IEC 8859-15 encoding standards to accurately render French diacritics (é, ç, à). It is certified for use in French-speaking regions requiring GDPR-compliant multilingual interfaces.
