Introduction to cm-locale-ar_LB-14.0.1.4000-1.cop.sha512 Software
This SHA512-verified localization package provides Lebanese Arabic (ar_LB) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v14.0.1, addressing compliance requirements under Lebanon’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) directive 2024-07. Designed for Middle Eastern enterprises and government agencies, it implements ISO 8859-6 character encoding with Lebanon-specific adaptations including:
- Lebanese pound (LBP) currency formatting in billing records
- Right-to-left (RTL) text rendering for administrative interfaces
- Emergency service number mapping (112/140) per TRA regulations
Released in Q2 2025 under Cisco’s Enhanced Software Maintenance cycle, this build (14.0.1.4000-1) introduces optimized diacritical mark handling for Levantine Arabic dialects. The package undergoes SHA512 cryptographic verification to ensure distribution integrity across multi-node CUCM clusters.
