Introduction to cm-locale-ar_SA-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512

This Cisco Options Package (COP) provides complete Saudi Arabic localization for ​​Cisco Collaboration Manager 14.0​​, addressing regional compliance requirements under Saudi Arabia’s CITC communications regulations. Designed for enterprises operating in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, it implements right-to-left (RTL) text rendering and culturally adapted interfaces across:

  • Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) administration portals
  • Webex Control Hub meeting analytics dashboards
  • Cisco Emergency Responder 14.0 notification systems

Certified for CUCM 14.0(1)SU2 and later, this SHA512-signed package follows Cisco’s Q1 2025 linguistic security framework. The internal build timestamp indicates final validation on March 10, 2025, aligning with Cisco’s semi-annual localization update cycle.
