Introduction to ps-locale-ar_SA-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
This SHA512-authenticated software package provides Saudi Arabic localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v14.x environments. Designed for Middle Eastern enterprises and multinational organizations operating under Saudi Arabia’s Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST) regulations, it translates 93% of administrative interfaces and 88% of endpoint portals to comply with Saudi-specific Arabic language standards (SASO 2663:2024).
Version 14.0.1.1000-1 introduces bidirectional text rendering optimizations for Cisco IP Phone 8867 touchscreens and Webex Room Bar Pro endpoints. Released under Cisco’s Q1 2025 software maintenance cycle, it supports Gregorian/Hijri calendar synchronization required by Saudi labor law compliance.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Regional Linguistic Compliance
- Implements Saudi-specific Arabic diacritic rules for ك (kaf) and ي (ya) characters
- Supports ISO 8601:2025 date formats with Hijri calendar conversion
2. Cryptographic Integrity
- SHA512 checksum validation aligns with NIST SP 800-184 standards
- Hardware Security Module (HSM) integration for package authentication
3. Performance Enhancements
- 26% faster right-to-left text rendering vs. previous 14.0.1.997-90 build
- Reduces memory footprint by 16MB through optimized font caching
4. Expanded Device Support
- First CUCM locale pack supporting Webex Board Pro dual-screen endpoints
- Adds Jabber 14.0.5 Saudi Arabic softphone interface localization
