Introduction to cm-locale-ar_EG-14.0.1.1003-1.cop.sha512
This SHA512-signed locale package provides comprehensive Arabic (Egypt) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v14.0.1 environments, addressing linguistic compliance requirements under Egypt’s National Telecommunication Regulation Authority (NTRA) guidelines. Designed as part of Cisco’s Language Options Pack (LOP) initiative, it localizes 97% of administrative interfaces, including call routing labels, device provisioning workflows, and system audit logs in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) dialect. The package is certified for CUCM clusters running version 14.0.1 SU3 or newer, with native RTL (right-to-left) text rendering optimized for Cisco 8800 Series IP Phones.
Key Features and Improvements
-
Regulatory Compliance
- Full localization of emergency service labels (“الطوارئ: ١٢٣”) per NTRA Directive 2024-5 for public safety communications
- ISO 8601 Hijri/Gregorian calendar synchronization in call detail records (CDRs)
-
Security Enhancements
- Patched CVE-2025-5191 vulnerability in bidirectional text parsing that allowed script injection
- SHA512 checksum validation (RFC 6234 standard) ensures end-to-end package integrity
-
Technical Optimization
- 35% reduction in memory footprint compared to legacy Arabic locale packs (CUCM 12.5)
- Accelerated text rendering for Webex App 14.0.1+ Arabic interfaces
