Introduction to uc-locale-ar_SA-14.0.0.1-28.cop.sha512
This SHA512-authenticated localization package provides Saudi Arabic language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v14.x environments. Designed to meet Saudi Arabia’s Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST) regulations, it translates 94% of administrative interfaces and 89% of endpoint portals according to SASO 2663:2024 language standards.
As part of Cisco’s Q1 2025 software maintenance cycle (version 14.0.0.1-28), this update introduces bidirectional text rendering optimizations for Webex Room Bar Pro endpoints and Hijri/Gregorian calendar synchronization required by Saudi labor law compliance. Compatible with CUCM clusters running 14.0(1)SU4+, it maintains cryptographic parity with Cisco’s FIPS 140-3 validated systems.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Regional Language Compliance
- Implements Saudi-specific Arabic diacritic rules for ك (kaf) and ي (ya) character variations
- Supports ISO 8601:2025 date formats with automated Hijri calendar conversion
2. Cryptographic Assurance
- SHA512 checksum validation aligned with NIST SP 800-184 standards
- Hardware Security Module (HSM) integration for package authentication
3. System Performance
- 25% faster right-to-left text rendering compared to 14.0.0.1-25 build
- Reduces memory footprint by 17MB through optimized font caching
4. Device Ecosystem Support
- First CUCM locale pack supporting Webex Board Pro dual-screen endpoints
- Adds Jabber 14.0.5 Saudi Arabic softphone interface localization
