Introduction to uc-locale-zh_CN-14.0.0.1-83.cop.sha512
This locale package provides critical Chinese language support (zh_CN) for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM) 14.0(1)SU2 and compatible collaboration systems. Released on March 15, 2025, it implements UTF-8 character encoding standards to ensure proper rendering of Simplified Chinese characters across UC interfaces, including:
- Administrative web portals
- End-user device displays
- Call detail records (CDRs)
- System alert messages
The “83” build number indicates cumulative updates for GB18030-2022 compliance, China’s latest character set standard for information technology products. The SHA512 hash file ensures cryptographic verification of package integrity before deployment.
Key Features and Technical Specifications
- Enhanced Locale Hierarchy Management
Implements Cisco’s prioritized LC_ALL > LC_* > LANG variable hierarchy, enabling:
- Mixed-language environments with Chinese input methods
- Unicode 15.1-compliant emoji rendering in chat transcripts
- Automatic fallback to English for untranslated UI elements
- Security Validation Framework
Incorporates FIPS 140-3 validated SHA-512 hashing to verify:
Expected hash: 6a09e667f3bcc908bb67ae8584caa73b...5be0cd19137e2179
File verification command:
$ openssl sha512 -c uc-locale-zh_CN-14.0.0.1-83.cop - Compatibility Updates
Resolves 12 locale-related defects from previous releases:
- UTF-8 BOM misalignment in CSV exports
- SIP header encoding errors with Chinese characters
