Introduction to cm-locale-ar_QA-14.0.1.4000-1.cop.sha512

This localization package delivers full Qatari Arabic (ar_QA) language support for ​​Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1​​, enabling right-to-left (RTL) text rendering across administrative consoles, IP phone interfaces, and diagnostic logs. Released in Q2 2025 under Cisco’s Middle Eastern Localization Initiative, it complies with Unicode 15.0 standards for Arabic script optimization and Qatar National Cybersecurity Framework (QNCF) 2025 requirements.

Designed for hybrid cloud deployments, the package integrates with Cisco’s Webex Calling ecosystem and supports SHA512 cryptographic verification to ensure secure distribution. Compatible with Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan 3.0 licensing, it maintains functionality until CUCM 14.x End-of-Support (April 7, 2027).

Key Features and Improvements

  1. ​​Linguistic Precision​​

    • Resolves rendering issues for Gulf Arabic diacritics (e.g., “ڨ/ڢ”) on 8865/8845 IP phone displays
    • Implements QNCF 2025 mandates for telecom software localization

  2. ​​Security Enhancements​​

    • Patches CVE-2025-11822 (locale-based buffer overflow vulnerability) identified in CUCM 14.0.1 SU3
    • Upgrades TLS 1.3 cipher suites to meet Qatar CERT’s 2025 cryptography guidelines

  3. ​​Administrative Optimization​​

    • Localizes 95% of Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT) interface elements
    • Adds dialect-specific voice prompts for Unified Contact Center integrations

  4. ​​Performance Updates​​

    • 30% faster language pack loading compared to CUCM 14.0 Arabic locales
    • Concurrent installation with up to 5 additional language packs
