1. Introduction to ps-locale-fr_CA-14.0.1.1001-1.cop.sha512

This SHA512-signed localization package provides native Canadian French (fr_CA) support for Cisco Collaboration Suite deployments, specifically designed for Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1 systems. Released on January 15, 2025 under Cisco’s Global Language Compliance Initiative, it implements Canada’s Official Languages Act (OLA) requirements and ISO 639-3 regional language standards.

The COP file format ensures cryptographic verification via SHA-512 hashing during deployment, aligning with Cisco’s Software Trust Assurance Framework. It supports Canada-specific numeric formats (1 234,56) and bilingual date/time displays (JJ/MM/AAAA – YYYY-MM-DD) for federal compliance.
