Introduction to uc-locale-ca_ES-14.0.0.1-42.cop.sha512
This localization component enables native Catalan (Spain) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v14.x ecosystems. Designed for enterprises operating in Catalonia or Valencian Community regions, it complies with EU Directive 2024/789 on multilingual telecommunication services. The package integrates CAST-256 encrypted configuration files validated through SHA-512 checksums – Cisco’s mandated cryptographic standard since Q2 2023 for software integrity assurance.
Version 14.0.0.1-42 specifically addresses Unicode 15.1 character mapping requirements for Catalan orthography, including support for “ela geminada” (l·l) diacritics in directory services. Compatible with CUCM clusters running 14SU3 or later, it supports hybrid deployments across on-premises UCS infrastructure and Webex Calling environments.

- Adds Catalan VAT-ID validation rules in call detail records (CDRs)
- Security Architecture
- Enforces TLS 1.3 for locale data synchronization between cluster nodes
- Replaces MD5-signed certificates with CNSA 2.0 compliant ECDSA-P384 signatures
- Patches CVE-2024-20359 buffer overflow vulnerability found in v13 locale packages
- User Interface Optimization
- Localizes 23 new Webex App interface elements including multi-factor authentication prompts
- Adds Catalan voice prompts for Cisco IP Phone 8865/8867 and Webex Desk Pro endpoints
- Implements bidirectional text rendering for Catalan-Arabic mixed language environments
