Introduction to cm-locale-ar_AE-14.0.1.4000-1.cop.sha512

This localization package provides Arabic (United Arab Emirates) language support for Cisco’s Unified Communications Manager 14.0.1 platform, designed to comply with Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) telecom regulations and right-to-left text rendering requirements. The “.sha512” extension confirms cryptographic integrity verification through FIPS 180-4 compliant hashing, ensuring tamper-proof distribution under Cisco’s Secure Software Lifecycle (SSLC) framework. Released in Q1 2025, this software enables bidirectional Arabic script support across administrative interfaces, call detail records, and user portals with UAE-specific Hijri calendar integration.

Cisco’s release notes confirm compatibility with Unified CM version 14.0.1.4000 and later maintenance releases, supporting Arabic diacritical marks (Tashkeel) through Unicode 15.0 standards. The package aligns with UAE’s TDRA regulations for telecom systems and E.164 numbering plans using +971 country codes.
