1. Introduction to ps-locale-fr_CA-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512

This language localization package enables full French-Canadian language support for Cisco’s Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1, addressing the linguistic requirements of enterprises in Québec and other Francophone regions. Released under Cisco’s quarterly Collaboration Software Maintenance Release cycle (Q2 2024), it implements CAQ-1024 compliance standards for government communications systems.

Compatible with Cisco’s 7800/8800/8900 series IP phones and Webex Room Devices, the package translates 98.7% of system interfaces – including voicemail prompts, admin consoles, and error messages – while preserving dialect-specific terminology like “courriel” instead of generic French translations.
