Introduction to cm-locale-ar_YE-14.0.1.1001-1.cop.sha512 Software
This localization package delivers comprehensive Arabic (Yemeni dialect) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1 environments, translating 1,850+ system interfaces including administrative portals, voicemail prompts, and device error messages. Designed for enterprises operating in Yemen and neighboring Arabic-speaking regions, it implements ISO 8859-6:2025 character encoding standards to comply with the Gulf Cooperation Council’s 2025 Digital Service Compliance Framework.
The 14.0.1.1001-1 version introduces SHA512 cryptographic verification for package integrity checks, replacing legacy MD5 validation methods. Compatible with CUCM clusters running 14.0.1 SU2+, Cisco Emergency Responder 14.0.1 SU1+, and Webex Calling hybrid deployments, this release became available through Cisco’s standard channels on January 25, 2025.
