Locale Installation
You can configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service to support multiple languages. There is no limit to the number of supported languages you can install.
Cisco provides locale-specific versions of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Locale Installer and the IM and Presence Service Locale Installer on www.cisco.com. Installed by the system administrator, the locale installer allows the user to view/receive the chosen translated text or tones, if applicable, when a user works with supported interfaces.
After you upgrade Cisco Unified Communications Manager or the IM & Presence Service, you must reinstall all the locales. Install the latest version of the locales that match the major.minor version number of your Cisco Unified Communications Manager node or IM and Presence Service node.
Install locales after you have installed Cisco Unified Communications Manager on every node in the cluster and have set up the database. If you want to install specific locales on IM and Presence Service nodes, you must first install the Cisco Unified Communications Manager locale file for the same country on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster.
Use the information in the following sections to install locales on Cisco Unified Communications Manager nodes and on IM and Presence Service nodes after you complete the software upgrade.
User Locales
User locale files contain language information for a specific language and country. They provide translated text and voice prompts, if available, for phone displays, user applications, and user web pages in the locale that the user chooses. These files use the following naming convention:.
-
cm-locale-language-country-version.cop (Cisco Unified Communications Manager)
-
ps-locale-language_country-version.cop (IM and Presence Service)
If your system requires user locales only, install them after you have installed the CUCM locale.
Network Locales
Network locale files provide country-specific files for various network items, including phone tones, annunciators, and gateway tones. The combined network locale file uses the following naming convention:
-
cm-locale-combinednetworklocale-version.cop (Cisco Unified Communications Manager)
Cisco may combine multiple network locales in a single locale installer.
Note |
Virtualized deployments of Cisco Unified Communications Manager on Cisco-approved, customer-provided servers can support multiple locales. Installing multiple locale installers ensures that the user can choose from a multitude of locales. You can install locale files from either a local or a remote source by using the same process for installing software upgrades. You can install more than one locale file on each node in the cluster. Changes do not take effect until you reboot every node in the cluster. Cisco strongly recommends that you do not reboot the nodes until you have installed all locales on all nodes in the cluster. Minimize call-processing interruptions by rebooting the nodes after regular business hours. |
Locale Installation Considerations
Install locales after you have installed Cisco Unified Communications Manager on every node in the cluster and have set up the database. If you want to install specific locales on IM and Presence Service nodes, you must first install the Cisco Unified Communications Manager locale file for the same country on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster.
You can install more than one locale file on each node in the cluster. To activate the new locale, you must restart each node in the cluster after installation.
You can install locale files from either a local or a remote source by using the same process for installing software upgrades. See the Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager for more information about upgrading from a local or a remote source.
Locale Files
Install locales after you have installed Cisco Unified Communications Manager on every node in the cluster and have set up the database. If you want to install specific locales on IM and Presence Service nodes, you must first install the Cisco Unified Communications Manager locale file for the same country on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster.
You can install more than one locale file on each node in the cluster. To activate the new locale, you must restart each node in the cluster after installation.
When you install locales on a node, install the following files:
-
User Locale files - These files contain language information for a specific language and country and use the following convention:
cm-locale-language-country-version.cop (Cisco Unified Communications Manager)
ps-locale-language_country-version.cop (IM and Presence Service)
-
Combined Network Locale file - Contains country-specific files for all countries for various network items, including phone tones, annunciators, and gateway tones. The combined network locale file uses the following naming convention:
cm-locale-combinednetworklocale-version.cop (Cisco Unified Communications Manager)
