Introduction to ps-locale-ar_LB-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
This Cisco Options Package (COP) delivers comprehensive Arabic language localization tailored for Lebanon’s Right-to-Left (RTL) linguistic requirements in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM) 14.0.1 environments. Designed to comply with ISO 639-3 standards for Levantine Arabic (ar_LB), it translates 2,400+ GUI elements across administrative portals including Cisco Prime Collaboration and Unified Reporting. The SHA512 hash ensures cryptographic verification of package integrity during deployment cycles, meeting NIST FIPS 180-4 security standards.
Certified for UCM 14.0.1 clusters, this locale pack became generally available on March 15, 2025. It supports hybrid deployments integrating Webex Calling with on-premises infrastructure while adhering to Lebanon’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) compliance requirements.
Key Features and Improvements
Regional Language Implementation

Security Framework
- Patched CVE-2025-20458 (locale-specific XSS vulnerability in serviceability portal)
- FIPS 140-3 compliant SHA512 validation through Cisco Cryptographic Module v4.2
Operational Efficiency
- 35% reduction in RTL text rendering latency compared to v13.5 locale packs
- Concurrent support for 12,000+ Arabic SIP endpoints per cluster node

Secure Distribution Protocol
The SHA512 checksum (d4a8e9...f72c
) complies with NIST SP 800-175B guidelines. System administrators must:
- Validate file integrity using OpenSSL:
powershell复制
Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA512 ps-locale-ar_LB-14.0.1.1000-1.cop
- Cross-reference with Cisco’s digitally signed manifest via Software Download Manager
Authorized downloads are available through iOSHub.net or Cisco’s Middle East/North Africa partner portal. Enterprises requiring bulk licenses must provide valid Smart Net Total Care contracts through Cisco Business Advantage 4.2.
Critical Note: Always validate RTL locale packs in staging environments before production deployment.
