Introduction to uc-locale-fr_FR-14.0.0.1-64.cop.sha512
This critical localization component enables French (France) language support in Cisco’s Unified Communications Manager 14.x series and compatible collaboration platforms. Designed for enterprise environments requiring multilingual interfaces, the file contains locale-specific resources validated through SHA-512 cryptographic hashing – an industry-standard integrity verification method.
Compatible with CUCM clusters running Release 14.0(1) and later, this 64-bit optimized package supports modern server architectures including Cisco UCS C-Series and BE6000/7000 appliance series. The SHA512 checksum file ensures administrators can verify binary authenticity before deployment, aligning with Cisco’s secure installation practices.
Key Features and Enhancements
1. Regional Compliance Optimization
Tailored for French business communication standards, the package includes:
- E.164 number formatting for +33 country code
- Translated interface elements for 14.x Web Admin portals
- Locale-aware time/date formats meeting EU regulations
2. Security Validation Framework
The embedded SHA-512 checksum enables:
- Tamper detection through 512-bit hash comparison
- FIPS 180-4 compliant verification workflows
- Prevents deployment of corrupted/maliciously modified COP files
3. Platform Enhancements
- 64-bit memory addressing for high-density deployments
- Unicode 13.0 support for accented characters (é, ç, œ)
- Resource optimization reducing GUI latency by 18% vs v13.x
Compatibility Matrix

Deployment Considerations
Prerequisites
- Cisco Prime Collaboration 14.x for centralized deployment
- 2GB available in /common/software/ repository
- SHA512 checksum verification tool (OpenSSL 1.1.1+ recommended)
Operational Limitations
- Not backward-compatible with 12.5(3)SU clusters
- Requires service restart for GUI changes
- Partial translation of third-party plugin interfaces
Secure Download Verification Process
- Download both .cop and .sha512 files
- Generate local hash:
openssl dgst -sha512 uc-locale-fr_FR-14.0.0.1-64.cop
- Compare with provided checksum value
For guaranteed authenticity, obtain the software package directly through Cisco’s authorized distribution channels. System administrators can [request secure download access] through our enterprise verification portal or contact Cisco TAC for emergency deployment scenarios.
