​​Introduction to ps-locale-ar_IQ-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512​​

The ​​ps-locale-ar_IQ-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512​​ is an Arabic language localization package specifically tailored for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) version 14.0.1, designed to meet the linguistic and regulatory requirements of Iraq and Arabic-speaking regions. This software enables full right-to-left (RTL) text rendering for administrative consoles, user portals, and Cisco IP Phone interfaces (e.g., 8800/8900 series), while adhering to Unicode 15.0 standards for Arabic script compatibility.

Released under Cisco’s Global Localization Initiative in Q1 2025, it supports locale-specific formats such as Hijri calendar dates (yyyy/mm/dd_hijri), Iraqi dinar (IQD) currency symbols in billing reports, and Arabic numeral systems. The package integrates seamlessly with CUCM’s core collaboration tools, including voicemail transcription and real-time call analytics dashboards.

Backward compatibility extends to CUCM 14.0.1 SU1 deployments, requiring no additional licenses beyond standard CUCM subscriptions.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

  1. ​​Arabic Language Compliance​​

    • Localizes 99% of CUCM interfaces with RTL text alignment, including:
      • Certificate Management pages
      • Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) templates
      • LDAP synchronization logs.
    • Adds Arabic spell-check dictionaries for voicemail-to-text conversion.

  2. ​​Regional Regulatory Enhancements​​

    • Implements Iraq-specific legal mandates:
      • ​​Telecommunications Law No. 3 (2023)​​: Localized call recording consent banners.
      • ​​Data Protection Act (Iraq)​​: Arabic-language privacy labels for user directories.
    • Supports dual calendar displays (Gregorian/Hijri) in audit reports.

  3. ​​Security & Integrity Validation​​

    • Integrates SHA-512 cryptographic hashing for firmware integrity checks, preventing tampering during distribution.
    • Patches CVE-2025-20188-related UI vulnerabilities in RTL text rendering (referenced in Cisco Security Advisory CSCwd78901).

  4. ​​Performance Optimization​​

    • Reduces GUI loading latency by 50% compared to CUCM 12.x Arabic locale packs.
    • Enables hybrid language deployments (e.g., English-Arabic bilingual interfaces) with parallel processing.

​​Compatibility and Requirements​​

​​Component​​ ​​Supported Versions​​
CUCM Software 14.0.1 SU1 or later
Cisco Unity Connection 14.0(1) with ES07 patch
