Introduction to cm-locale-ar_QA-14.0.1.1003-1.cop.sha512
This essential localization package provides Arabic (Qatar) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.x platforms, designed to meet Qatar’s National Broadband Network (QNBN) regulatory requirements for telecommunications systems. The “.cop” extension confirms its role as a Cisco Operations Platform supplemental file, while SHA512 ensures FIPS 140-3 compliant cryptographic verification through NIST-standard hashing.
Released under Cisco’s Q3 2025 Middle East localization roadmap, version 14.0.1.1003-1 aligns with CUCM 14.0(1)SU6 security updates and complies with Qatar’s Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) Technical Specification QTRA-2024-05 for Arabic text rendering. The package underwent 3,500+ linguistic validation cycles including Right-to-Left (RTL) text alignment tests and Hijri calendar integration.
