Introduction to ps-locale-ar_LB-14.0.1.4000-1.cop.sha512
The ps-locale-ar_LB-14.0.1.4000-1.cop.sha512 is a SHA512-signed Arabic (Lebanon) localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1. Released in Q1 2025 under Cisco’s Global Language Compliance Initiative, this COP file provides:
- Right-to-left (RTL) UI adaptation for 42 administrative interfaces
- Lebanon-specific date/time formats (ISO 8601:2025 regional variant)
- Arabic script rendering optimizations for Cisco IP Phones
- Locale-aware call detail records (CDRs) with UTF-8 encoding
Certified for hybrid deployments integrating Webex Calling and on-premises 8800/8900 Series endpoints, it complies with Lebanon’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) technical standards. The SHA512 hash ensures cryptographic file integrity validation per Cisco’s Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) v4.2.
