Introduction to uc-locale-zh_HK-12.5.0.1-75.cop.sha512
This Cisco Options Package (COP) provides complete Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong) localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1)SU12 and compatible collaboration systems. Designed to comply with Hong Kong’s Language Law (Cap. 5) and Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) standards, it implements locale-specific configurations including:
- Date formats (YYYY年MM月DD日)
- Currency symbols (HK$)
- Address formatting aligned with Hongkong Post 2025 requirements
- Tax calculation templates for CDR exports
The version identifier “12.5.0.1-75” confirms integration with Cisco’s Q2 2025 security framework, featuring SHA-512 cryptographic validation to ensure file integrity during deployment. This release specifically addresses Hong Kong’s updated Personal Data Privacy Ordinance (PDPO) requirements for call detail record storage.
