Introduction to vcs-lang-fr-fr_14.2-0_amd64.tlp
This Cisco TLP package delivers French language localization for Video Communication Server (VCS) environments, released on March 12, 2025 to enhance multilingual collaboration in enterprise video conferencing systems. Designed for Cisco VCS Expressway X14.2 deployments, it provides full UI translation including administrative interfaces, error messages, and endpoint configuration menus.
The package follows Cisco’s Language Localization Framework (LLF) 3.1 standards, ensuring ISO 8601 date/time formatting consistency and CAVIUM-approved cryptographic terminology alignment. It supports hybrid deployments where French-speaking administrators manage global video infrastructures through Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) .
Key Localization Enhancements
-
Terminology Standardization
- 1,200+ technical terms validated by AFNOR (French Standardization Association)

-
Regulatory Compliance
- RGPD (GDPR) compliant consent phrasing in meeting recording prompts
- ANSSI-approved encryption protocol descriptions
-
Accessibility Features
- WCAG 2.1 AA compliant UI contrast ratios
- Screen reader-optimized aria-labels for call control buttons
