Introduction to ps-locale-ar_QA-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512

This localization package delivers full Qatari Arabic (ar_QA) language support for ​​Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1​​, enabling right-to-left (RTL) text rendering across administrative consoles, IP phone displays, and diagnostic logs. Released in Q2 2025 under Cisco’s Middle Eastern Localization Initiative, it complies with Unicode 15.0 standards for Arabic script optimization and Qatar’s Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) cybersecurity mandates.

The software integrates with Cisco’s Webex Calling ecosystem and supports SHA512 cryptographic verification, ensuring secure distribution for hybrid cloud deployments. It maintains compatibility with Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan 3.0 licensing until CUCM 14.x End-of-Support (April 7, 2027).
