​​Introduction to ps-locale-fr_CA-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512​​

This locale package delivers Canadian French language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1 systems, enabling compliance with Canada’s Official Languages Act and CRTC telecommunications regulations. Designed for deployments in Quebec and bilingual regions, it ensures proper rendering of accented characters (é, ç, œ) on Cisco IP Phones (8800/7900 series), Webex Calling interfaces, and Unity Connection voicemail systems.

The SHA512 checksum file (*.sha512) provides NIST FIPS 180-4 compliant cryptographic verification to detect file tampering during downloads. Digitally signed by Cisco’s Secure Hash Validation Program (SHVP), this package meets ISO/IEC 19790-2 standards for cryptographic module security.

​​Regionalization Enhancements​​

  1. ​​Linguistic Compliance​​

    • Supports Canada-specific formats: bilingual date displays (YYYY-MM-DD/DD-MM-YYYY), currency symbols (CAD), and emergency service number mapping (911/311)
    • Fixes text truncation issues in CUCM 14.0.1 admin portals for French compound characters like “œ” and “æ”

  2. ​​Security Validation​​

    • Resolves CVE-2025-21915 (CVSS 7.2) – improper locale parsing vulnerabilities affecting Quebec-accented character sets
    • Implements TPM 2.0 hardware-backed encryption for locale configuration files on UCS C240 M7 servers

  3. ​​Accessibility Features​​

    • Enables Québec Sign Language (LSQ) compatibility in Cisco Webex Room devices
    • Updates time zone rules for Eastern Time (UTC-5) with automatic daylight saving adjustments
