1. Introduction to ps-locale-ar_YE-15.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
This cryptographic checksum file validates the integrity of the Arabic (Yemen) localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 15.0.1. Designed for enterprises operating under Yemeni telecommunications regulations, it enables full Right-to-Left (RTL) script support for administrative interfaces, error logs, and system documentation in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).
Released in Q4 2024 as part of Cisco’s Middle Eastern localization initiative, the package operates exclusively with CUCM 15.0.1 clusters running on Cisco UCS C-Series servers or VMware ESXi 8.0+/KVM 5.2+ virtual environments. The SHA512 checksum ensures file authenticity during transfers, aligning with FIPS 180-4 cryptographic standards.
