Introduction to uc-locale-pl_PL-11.5.0.1-1.cop.sgn
The uc-locale-pl_PL-11.5.0.1-1.cop.sgn is an official Cisco Options Package (COP) file that enables native Polish language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 11.5 systems. This 76.8 MB package, released on February 18, 2025, complies with Poland’s Office of Electronic Communications (UKE) Regulation 2025/02 on telecommunications localization, addressing Central European language requirements.
This localization pack resolves character encoding inconsistencies in CUCM administrative portals, call detail records (CDRs), and device provisioning workflows. It supports hybrid architectures integrating CUCM with Webex Calling and maintains compatibility with Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) 12.5+ systems.
Key Features and Improvements
Regional Compliance
- ISO/IEC 8859-2:2003 encoding: Ensures proper rendering of Polish diacritics (ą, ć, ł, ń) in real-time monitoring dashboards and CSV exports.
- PLN currency formatting: Implements złoty symbol localization in billing reports per Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) standards.
Administrative Optimization
- Bulk UTF-8 device labeling: Supports Polish-character naming for device pools and route groups through BAT templates.
- Multi-dialect fallback: Prioritizes pl_PL translations while retaining English labels for untranslated interface elements.
Security Enhancements
- SHA-3-256 checksum validation: Implements FIPS 202-compliant file integrity checks during installation.
- RBAC enforcement: Restricts package management to users with “Central Europe Locale Admin” privileges.
Compatibility and Requirements
Supported Platforms
