Introduction to cm-locale-ar_DZ-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512
This SHA512 checksum file validates the Algerian Arabic (ar_DZ) language pack (version 14.0.1.3000-1) for Cisco’s collaboration software ecosystem. Designed for organizations deploying Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) or Webex Calling in Algeria and other Arabic-speaking regions, this localization package ensures system prompts, voicemail menus, and administrative interfaces display natively in Modern Standard Arabic with regional adaptations for Algerian dialects.
The COP (Cisco Options Package) format follows Cisco’s standardized structure for supplementary software components. The appended SHA512 hash enables cryptographic verification of file integrity during download and before installation. Cisco typically releases such locale packs alongside major collaboration suite updates to comply with multilingual regulatory requirements.
Key Features and Enhancements
-
RTL Text Support
- Full right-to-left text rendering for Arabic scripts across CUCM 14.0.1 administrative portals and endpoint interfaces.
- Compatibility with mixed-language environments (e.g., Arabic-English hybrid deployments).
-
Regulatory Compliance
- Implements Algerian Telecom Regulatory Authority (ARPT) 2024 directives for localized telecommunication software interfaces.
- Aligns with Unicode 15.0 standards for Arabic script handling.
-
Terminology Optimization
- Technical terms adapted to Algerian IT industry norms, including localized abbreviations for voicemail controls (e.g., “رسالة جديدة” for “New Message”).
- Address formatting adjustments for Algerian postal codes and administrative divisions.
-
Hash Validation Protocol
- The .sha512 file uses FIPS 180-4-compliant SHA-512 hashing to detect file tampering or corruption. Administrators can verify downloads using OpenSSL:
bash复制
openssl sha512 cm-locale-ar_DZ-14.0.1.3000-1.cop
- The .sha512 file uses FIPS 180-4-compliant SHA-512 hashing to detect file tampering or corruption. Administrators can verify downloads using OpenSSL:
