Introduction to uc-locale-nb_NO-14.0.0.1-42.cop.sha512
This localization package enables native Norwegian Bokmål (nb_NO) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v14.0 deployments, specifically designed to comply with Norway’s Post- og teletilsynet (Nkom) telecommunications regulations. It implements ISO 8601 date/time patterns (DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM) and Norwegian diacritic rendering (æ, ø, å) across administrative interfaces, call detail records, and directory services.
Certified for CUCM clusters running 14.0 SU3+, the “.sha512” extension confirms FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic hashing for installation integrity checks, aligning with Cisco’s 2024 European Union data sovereignty requirements. Released in Q4 2024 under Cisco’s EMEA localization roadmap, it resolves text encoding conflicts reported in v12.5 deployments for Scandinavian character sets.
