1. Introduction to ps-locale-ar_QA-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512

This digitally signed Cisco localization package provides Qatar-specific Arabic language support (locale identifier: ar_QA) for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0(1)SU2 deployments. Designed for enterprises operating in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) regions, it implements right-to-left text rendering for administrative consoles and complies with ITU-T Q.931 Arabic character encoding standards.

The 14.0.1.1000-1 version introduces Unicode 15.0 support for Arabic script variants used in Qatar, including improved handling of Hamza diacritics and Eastern Arabic numerals. Compatible with CUCM clusters running 14.0(1)SU1 or later, it supports hybrid deployments across Cisco UCS C480 M7 servers and HyperFlex HX240c nodes.
