Introduction to ps-locale-ar_TN-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512
This Cisco-certified localization package delivers comprehensive Tunisian Arabic (ar_TN) language support for IM & Presence Service 14.0.1 deployments, engineered to comply with Tunisia’s National Digital Certification Agency (ANCE) regulations. The software bundle includes 2,000+ localized interface elements across Cisco Jabber administrative consoles, directory services, and presence status indicators, optimized for Tunisian dialect voice prompts on Cisco 8845/8865 IP phones.
Certified for IM&P clusters running versions 14.0.1 SU1 through SU3, the package implements UTF-8 Arabic script rendering aligned with Unicode 15.0 standards. The embedded SHA-512 checksum ensures cryptographic integrity validation during deployment, requiring sequential installation across all cluster nodes within 48-hour maintenance windows.
