Introduction to cm-locale-fr_CA-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512 Software
The cm-locale-fr_CA-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512 file is a cryptographic validation component for Cisco’s Canadian French localization package within Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1 environments. This SHA512-verified installation bundle enables full compliance with Canada’s Official Languages Act (OLA) requirements, implementing Québec French character encoding (ISO/IEC 8859-15) across administrative interfaces, billing systems, and emergency service displays.
Released in Q2 2025 under Cisco’s Globalization Compliance Framework 6.2, this package supports Canadian telecommunications regulations including CRTC 2024-124 directives for bilingual service labeling. Compatible with CUCM clusters running minimum version 14.0(1.30000) with ES patch 3000-3 installed.
