Introduction to cm-locale-ar_EG-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
This cryptographic integrity package provides full Arabic (Egyptian dialect) localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.x systems. Released in Q1 2025 under Cisco’s Software Maintenance Window SWMW-UC-2025-01, it enables right-to-left text rendering, Hijri calendar integration, and locale-specific TLS cipher suite configurations for Middle Eastern deployments.
Designed as a COP (Cisco Options Package) file with SHA-512 checksum validation, it supports CUCM clusters running 14.0.1 base software or later. The package requires 1.2GB free disk space and integrates with Cisco’s Smart Licensing v3.2 for compliance auditing.
