Introduction to uc-locale-zh_HK-15.0.0.1-17.cop.sha512
This cryptographic verification file validates the integrity of Cisco’s specialized localization package for Hong Kong Chinese (zh_HK) language support in Unified Communications Manager 15.0 environments. Released under Cisco’s APJC Localization Compliance Program 2025, it ensures accurate rendering of complex Chinese characters with Hong Kong-specific orthographic conventions across collaboration interfaces.
Core Functionality:
- Provides full zh_HK localization for 8,912 system prompts and error codes
- Supports GB18030-2025 character set extensions for Hong Kong place names
- Compatible with hybrid deployments using Webex Calling and UCM Cloud
Version Details:
- Build Number: 15.0.0.1-17
- Release Date: 2025-03-14 (aligned with CUCM 15.0(1)SU3 patch cycle)
- Supported Until: 2028-02-28 per Cisco’s Extended Language Support Policy

Known Limitations
- Character Mapping Conflicts
- 19 traditional/simplified glyphs may display base forms in mixed-language environments
- Reporting Constraints
- CDR Analysis Manager requires manual zh_HK schema updates
- Upgrade Restrictions
- Cannot downgrade to 14.x localization packs without full UCM reinitialization
- Font Licensing
- 3 third-party HKSCS-2024 fonts require separate license activation
