​​Introduction to cm-locale-fr_CA-14.0.1.1003-1.cop.sha512​​

This locale package enables French Canadian (fr_CA) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) environments, adhering to Canada’s Official Languages Act and Quebec’s Charter of the French Language (Bill 101). Designed for enterprises requiring bilingual compliance, it ensures:

  • Proper handling of accented characters (é, à, ç)
  • CA-specific date/time formats (YYYY-MM-DD with 24-hour clock)
  • Localized voicemail prompts and directory services

Version ​​14.0.1.1003-1​​ corresponds to CUCM 14.0(1)SU3 software releases, validated for hybrid deployments integrating Webex Calling and on-premises CUCM clusters. The ​​.sha512​​ extension confirms FIPS 180-4 compliant cryptographic verification for secure distribution.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

  1. ​​Regional Compliance​​

  2. ​​Security Enhancements​​

    • Resolves CVE-2025-4421 (locale injection vulnerability in multi-tenant environments)
    • Enforces AES-256 encryption for locale package storage

  3. ​​Platform Optimization​​

    • 40% faster text-to-speech processing vs. fr_CA v12.5 locale packs
