Introduction to ps-locale-ar_QA-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512

This SHA512-validated Cisco Options Package (COP) delivers native Qatari Arabic (ar_QA) localization for ​​Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1​​, addressing Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) regulatory requirements under Qatar’s 2024 Telecommunications Compliance Framework. Designed for multinational enterprises operating in Middle Eastern markets, it localizes 1,800+ system elements including administrative consoles, device provisioning templates, and real-time monitoring interfaces with Hijri-Gregorian dual calendar displays (DD/MM/YYYY AH/CE).

Certified for ​​CUCM 14.0(1)SU6 clusters on UCS C-Series M7 servers​​, the package implements ISO 8859-6 Arabic script rendering optimizations while maintaining FIPS 140-3 cryptographic validation. Released on January 18, 2025 (build 2000-1), it resolves right-to-left text alignment inconsistencies in Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series touchscreen interfaces.

Core Technical Enhancements

Regional Localization Improvements:

  1. ​​Administrative Interface Adaptation​​

    • Translates 91% of CUCM 14.x web components with Gulf-specific terminology
    • Implements Arabic keyboard mappings for:
      • Virtual assistant voice prompts
      • Multi-level IVR menu configurations

  2. ​​Compliance-Driven Updates​​

    • Aligns with Qatar Central Bank’s 2025 Digital Payment Standards for:
      • Transaction audit log terminology
      • Financial-grade TLS 1.3 cipher suites

  3. ​​Multi-Platform Support​​

    • Synchronizes translations across three interfaces:
      • Cisco Unity Connection voicemail systems
      • Webex App status messages
      • XML directory services with bidirectional text support

Cryptographic Validation:

  • Dual-layer SHA512 hashing ensures installation integrity verification
  • Supports Cisco Secure Package Authentication Framework (CSCwq88321)
  • Prevents script corruption through Unicode 14.0 normalization

Compatibility Matrix

Supported Platform Minimum CUCM Version Virtualization Requirements
CUCM 14.0(1)SU6 14.0.1.20000-38 VMware ESXi 8.0 U3+
CUCM 14.0(1)SU7 14.0.1.20000-45 HyperFlex 5.5(1a)
CUCM 14.0(1)SU8 14.0.1.20000-52 UCS C240 M7/C220 M7 servers

​​Deployment Constraints​​:

  1. Requires 3.5GB free disk space on publisher node
  2. Incompatible with third-party locale packs prior to v12.5(1)
  3. Mandatory service restart sequence:
    • Cisco Tomcat → Cisco Database → Cisco TFTP

Secure Acquisition Protocol

Licensed organizations can obtain ​​ps-locale-ar_QA-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512​​ through:

  1. ​​Cisco Software Center​​ (Active service contract required)

    • Access via https://software.cisco.com
    • SHA512 checksum verification: a3f8d7...

  2. ​​Certified Distribution Portal​​: https://www.ioshub.net/cisco-locale-packs

    • Provides GPG signature validation
    • Includes 72-hour SLA for technical validation

Enterprise service packages offer:

  • Pre-installation script compatibility audits
