Introduction to cm-locale-fr_CA-14.0.1.1002-1.cop.sha512
This cryptographic-secured localization package enables French-Canadian (fr_CA) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 14.x environments. Designed under Cisco’s Global Language Expansion Initiative 2025, it meets bilingual compliance requirements for enterprises operating in Québec and other francophone regions of Canada.
The “sha512” suffix confirms NIST-approved integrity verification through FIPS 180-4 standards. Released in Q2 2025 as part of the 14.0.1 maintenance cycle, it implements ISO/IEC 10646:2024 Unicode standards for linguistic accuracy.
Key Features and Technical Advancements

- Full support for Québec French diacritics (à, â, ç, é, ê, î, ô, û)
- Bilingual date formats compliant with Loi 101 (YYYY-MM-DD/DD-MM-YYYY)
2. Enhanced Security Protocols
- SHA512 checksum replaces legacy MD5 validation
- X.509 certificate chain verification using 4096-bit RSA keys
3. System Integration
- Automatic code page conversion between UTF-8 and ISO-8859-15
- TTS optimization for Cisco 8865/8845 IP phones with Québec accent profiles
4. Compliance Updates
- Addresses CVE-2025-4412 (locale injection vulnerability)
- Implements Canada’s Official Languages Act Section 38 formatting rules
