Introduction to cm-locale-ar_KW-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512
This localization package enables Arabic (Kuwait) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) version 14.0.1.3000, specifically tailored to meet Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) linguistic standards and regulatory requirements. The “.cop.sha512” extension confirms cryptographic validation via SHA-512 hashing, adhering to Cisco’s secure software distribution framework for tamper-proof deployments.
Designed for multinational enterprises operating in Kuwait and neighboring GCC states, it localizes administrative interfaces with Hijri/Gregorian calendar synchronization and Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) currency formatting in billing modules. The package integrates with Cisco’s global localization strategy, supporting right-to-left (RTL) text rendering and Arabic diacritic normalization in SIP/H.323 endpoints.

Integrity Verification
The SHA512 checksum embedded in the filename follows Cisco’s security protocols:
- Pre-deployment Validation:
bash复制
sha512sum cm-locale-ar_KW-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512
- Automated Compliance Check:
Cisco Unified OS performs real-time validation during software upload via CLI/GUI interfaces.
Licensing and Access
For authorized network administrators:
- Enterprise Portal: Available via Cisco Software Central (CCO credentials required)
- GCC Partners: Contact Cisco-certified UC providers in Middle East regions
- Premium Support: 24/7 access through Cisco TAC agreements
