1. Introduction to ps-locale-ar_QA-14.0.1.1001-1.cop.sha512

This SHA512-verified localization package implements Qatari Arabic dialect support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v14.0.1 environments. Designed for Middle Eastern deployments, it translates administrative consoles, system logs, and device LCD displays into Modern Standard Arabic with regional adaptations for Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) date formats (Hijri/Gregorian dual calendar), currency symbols (QAR), and numeric units.

Certified for CUCM 14.0.1 SU1 (14.0.1.10000-xxx builds), the package supports Cisco IP Phone 8800/8900 series and Webex Room Kit Pro endpoints. Released on March 25, 2025, it resolves bidirectional text rendering conflicts documented in Cisco defect CSCwm12345 for multilingual interface systems.
