Introduction to cm-locale-ar_LB-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512
This cryptographic software package provides native Lebanese Arabic (ar_LB) localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v14.0.1 environments. Designed under Cisco’s Language Enablement Framework 2025, it implements ISO 639-3 compliant right-to-left text rendering and Lebanon-specific date/time formats adhering to Unicode CLDR v44 standards.
The SHA512-signed COP file ensures FIPS 180-4 validated integrity checks, meeting Lebanon’s OMSAR (Office of the Minister of State for Administrative Reform) cybersecurity requirements for government communication systems. Released on March 15, 2025, it addresses localization mandates under Lebanon Digital Transformation Strategy 2025 for public sector telephony deployments.
