1. Introduction to ps-locale-zh_HK-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
This cryptographic hash file validates Cisco’s Hong Kong Chinese (zh-HK) localization package for Collaboration Manager 14.0.1, released under Cisco’s Q3 2025 multilingual compliance initiative. Designed for enterprises operating in Hong Kong and Greater Bay Area regions, it provides full Traditional Chinese interface localization compliant with Hong Kong Office of the Communications Authority (OFCA) regulations, including region-specific date/time formats and emergency service labeling aligned with Hong Kong Cybersecurity Law 2024/219.
The package supports Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) versions 14.0(1)SU1 through 14.0(1)SU3, resolving linguistic inconsistencies in previous Cantonese localization builds. Built with SHA512 hashing (RFC 6234), it ensures file integrity for financial and government deployments requiring compliance with Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance.
