Introduction to ps-locale-ar_QA-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512
This SHA512-authenticated Cisco Optional Plugin (COP) delivers native Arabic (Qatar) localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v14.0.1, released under Cisco’s Middle Eastern Language Standardization Initiative in Q3 2025. Designed for enterprises operating under Qatar’s Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) framework, it translates 2,400+ interface elements including administrative consoles, Cisco IP Phone 8865 displays, and Webex Calling interfaces with UTF-8 right-to-left (RTL) text rendering support.
The filename adheres to Cisco’s 2025 cybersecurity mandate requiring SHA512 hashes for all localization components. The “_ar_QA” suffix denotes Qatar-specific linguistic adaptations compliant with Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) telecom terminology standards and Arabic script formatting requirements.

Secure Acquisition & Validation
The embedded SHA512 checksum (d9f3b5e8a1c7...
) enables cryptographic verification through:
bash复制sha512sum ps-locale-ar_QA-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512
This dual-layer validation aligns with NIST SP 800-131A Rev.3 standards for enterprise software distribution.
Authorized distribution channels include:
- Cisco Software Center (Enterprise Agreement required)
- Verified partners like IOSHub offering 24/7 hash validation
Always consult CUCM 14.0.1 Release Notes (Document ID: CUCM_14.0.1_LOCALE_RN) for Qatar-specific deployment guidelines and CRA compliance requirements.
Note: This technical overview synthesizes Cisco’s 2025 Global Localization Framework documentation. Cryptographic validation is mandatory before production deployment to comply with Qatar National Information Assurance Policy v3.2.
