Introduction to ps-locale-ar_QA-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512
This cryptographic software package delivers native Qatari Arabic (ar_QA) localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v14.0.1 and Webex Room devices. Designed under Cisco’s Language Enablement Framework 2025, it implements ISO 639-3 compliant right-to-left text rendering and Qatar-specific date formats adhering to Gulf Standard Time (GST) UTC+4 conventions.
The SHA512-signed COP file ensures FIPS 180-4 validated integrity checks, meeting Qatar’s Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) cybersecurity requirements for critical infrastructure. Released on March 30, 2025, it addresses localization mandates under Qatar National Vision 2030 for government telephony systems.
