​​Introduction to cm-locale-ar_IQ-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512​​

This Cisco Options Package (COP) provides Arabic (Iraq) language localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) 14.0.1, enabling regional compliance and user accessibility in enterprise telephony systems. Designed for deployments requiring right-to-left (RTL) text rendering, Iraq-specific numbering plans, and Gregorian/Hijri calendar synchronization, it ensures seamless integration with Cisco UC infrastructure.

The SHA512 checksum file guarantees cryptographic verification of the software’s integrity, a critical step to prevent tampering during distribution. Released in Q4 2024, this package aligns with Cisco’s global localization strategy for Unified CM 14.x and supports devices such as Cisco IP Phone 8865/7841, Webex Room Kit Pro, and clusters running Unified CM 14.0(1) or later.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

  1. ​​Regional Language Compliance​​:

    • Full Arabic script support for administrative portals, call logs, and device interfaces with RTL text alignment.
    • Iraq-specific emergency service routing (e.g., 130/110 integration) and local number formatting.

  2. ​​Security Enhancements​​:

    • SHA512 integrity validation to detect file corruption or unauthorized modifications.
    • Resolved CVE-2024-3355 (locale parsing vulnerability) present in earlier 14.0.x releases.

  3. ​​Performance Optimizations​​:

    • Reduced latency in locale-dependent services through optimized code page conversions.
    • Streamlined installation via Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment (PCD) 14.0.1.

  4. ​​Extended Device Compatibility​​:

    • Support for Webex DX80 endpoints and Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) 14.0.1 localization.

​​Compatibility and Requirements​​
