Supported Languages and Character Set
The Cisco MGCP IP phone supports the ISO 8859-1 Latin1 characters and the following languages:
French (fr), Spanish (es), Catalan (ca), Basque (eu), Portuguese (pt), Italian (it), Albanian (sq),
Rhaeto-Romanic (rm), Dutch (nl), German (de), Danish (da), Swedish (sv), Norwegian (no), Finnish (fi),
Faroese (fo), Icelandic (is), Irish (ga), Scottish (gd), English (en), Afrikaans (af), and Swahili (sw).
It does not support the following languages: Zulu (zu) and other Bantu languages using Latin
Extended-B letters; Arabic in North Africa; and Guarani (gn), which is missing the letters G, E, I, U, and
Y with tildes (~).
You can use ISO 8859-1 Latin1 characters in the following areas:
•
Caller ID information—When an MGCP message is received with ISO 8859-1 Latin1 characters in
the caller ID strings, those caller ID strings are displayed on the phone LCD with the correct
ISO 8859-1 Latin1 characters.
•
Cisco CallManager XML—Services menu applications are written in Cisco CallManager XML
(CMXML). You can write language-specific applications for a particular region. For example, you
can write an application that displays the current weather in Sweden using Swedish language
characters. If you write the same application for a Spanish town, the characters you select could
translate the application into Spanish.
•
Call-control displays (external MGCP XML card deck)—The XML deck used for MGCP call
control is downloaded to the phone, and those XML cards can be translated into the local language.
•
Line-key labels—Line-key labels are set using an MGCP message that sets the label to the string
provided. Strings that contain ISO 8859-1 Latin1 characters are displayed properly.
•
Soft-key labels—Soft-key labels are set using XML cards. XML cards, including call-control cards
and services applications, can provide soft keys with ISO 8859-1 Latin1 characters.
