Introduction to cm-locale-ar_KW-14.0.1.1002-1.cop.sha512
The cm-locale-ar_KW-14.0.1.1002-1.cop.sha512 is an official Arabic (Kuwait) localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) systems, delivering full right-to-left language support for administrative interfaces, user portals, and endpoint devices. Released in Q3 2025, this Cisco Options Package (COP) file complies with Unicode 15.1 specifications and integrates with Cisco’s global multilingual framework for enterprise collaboration environments.
Designed for CUCM clusters running version 14.0.1 or later, the package enables localized operations across Cisco collaboration products including IP Phone 8865/8861 endpoints, Webex Room Kit Pro Series, and Cisco Emergency Responder systems. The .cop.sha512 extension confirms SHA-512 cryptographic verification compliance, ensuring end-to-end file integrity as mandated by Cisco’s Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) standards.
