1. Introduction to ps-locale-sr_ME-14.0.1.1001-1.cop.sha512
This SHA512-signed localization package provides native Serbian (Montenegrin dialect) support for Cisco Collaboration Suite deployments, specifically engineered for Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1 systems. Released on July 20, 2025 under Cisco’s Global Language Compliance Program, it implements Montenegro’s Official Language Standard (OG 42/2024) and ISO 639-3 regional language requirements.
The COP file format ensures cryptographic verification via SHA-512 hashing during deployment, aligning with Cisco’s Software Trust Assurance Framework. It supports Montenegro-specific numeric formats (1.234,56) and Cyrillic/Latin script synchronization for bilingual interfaces.
2. Key Features and Improvements
2.1 Linguistic Compliance
- Full translation of 1,200+ UI elements including:
- Bilingual call routing configuration menus (Cyrillic/Latin)
- VAT calculation modules compliant with Montenegro’s Tax Administration
- Multilingual voicemail transcription templates
2.2 Security Enhancements
- Patched CVE-2025-30721 (Cyrillic character encoding buffer overflow)
- TLS 1.3 cipher suite alignment with ME-CERT cybersecurity guidelines
- FIPS 140-3 compliant hash verification during installation
2.3 Performance Optimization
- 30% faster locale resource loading compared to v13.5
- Concurrent script switching between Cyrillic/Latin without service interruption
- UTF-8 encoding optimization for legacy IP phone displays
