Introduction to uc-locale-it_IT-12.5.0.1-31.cop.sgn Software
This localization package provides comprehensive Italian (it_IT) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 12.5.0.1 environments, translating 1,800+ system interfaces including voicemail prompts, administrative portals, and device error messages. Designed for enterprises operating in Italy, it implements UNI 10520:2025 character encoding standards and locale-specific formatting for legal compliance with Italy’s 2025 Digital Service Act.
The 12.5.0.1-31 version introduces cryptographic signing (.sgn extension) for enhanced package authentication, replacing legacy verification methods. Compatible with CUCM clusters, Cisco Emergency Responder 12.5.0.1 SU2+, and Webex Calling hybrid deployments, this release became generally available on February 28, 2025 through Cisco’s standard software distribution channels.
