Introduction to ps-locale-fr_FR-14.0.1.4000-1.cop.sha512
This SHA512-signed locale package enables French (France) language localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1 deployments. Released in Q2 2025 under Cisco’s Global Language Compliance Initiative, it provides:
- Full administrative interface translation for 45+ menu categories
- Regional formatting compliance with AFNOR Z71-020 standards
- Enhanced UTF-8 character rendering for 8800/8900 Series IP Phones
- Integrated validation against France’s RGPD data protection regulations
Designed for hybrid deployments combining Webex Calling and on-premises infrastructure, it supports CUCM clusters running 14.0.1 SU3 or later. The SHA512 cryptographic verification ensures file integrity aligns with Cisco Secure Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) v4.3 requirements.
