Introduction to cm-locale-ar_DZ-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
This SHA512-signed localization package provides official Algerian Arabic (ar_DZ) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) 14.0 environments. Designed for North African deployments, it enables system administrators to localize interface elements across Cisco IP Phones 8800/7800 Series and Webex Calling endpoints.
Released under Cisco’s Q4 2024 software maintenance cycle, the .cop file integrates with Unified CM’s multilingual framework to translate 4,200+ system prompts, directory services, and voicemail menus while maintaining UTF-8 encoding compliance. The “.sha512” extension confirms cryptographic integrity validation through NIST-approved hashing algorithms.
