Introduction to ps-locale-ar_QA-14.0.1.4000-1.cop.sha512

This locale package enables native Arabic language support with Qatar regional formatting (ar_QA) for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1 deployments. Designed for Middle Eastern enterprises and government agencies, it localizes 2,800+ system elements including:

  • Administrative web interfaces
  • End-user device displays (IP Phone 8800/8900 Series)
  • Automated voice prompts and error messages

The “.cop.sha512” extension confirms Cisco’s enhanced security validation using 512-bit cryptographic hashing, ensuring file integrity during distribution. Released under Cisco’s Q3 2024 localization roadmap, this package aligns with ISO 639-3 Arabic language standards and Qatar’s National Digital Transformation Initiative compliance requirements.
