Introduction to uc-locale-fr_FR-14.0.0.1-83.cop.sha512
This SHA512-certified Cisco Options Package (COP) provides full French (fr_FR) localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM) 14.0 deployments, addressing ISO/IEC 8859-15:2024 encoding standards for European multilingual environments. Designed to resolve linguistic formatting inconsistencies in administrative consoles and call detail records, it implements regional compliance for numeric separators (1 234,56 €) and date displays aligned with AFNOR Z71-300 regulations.
The “_sha512” suffix confirms FIPS 140-3 cryptographic validation, essential for enterprises requiring compliance with EU Cybersecurity Act mandates. Cisco’s Q1 2025 collaboration release notes indicate this patch resolves 6 locale-specific vulnerabilities in UCM 14.x clusters, including improper Unicode normalization of French ligatures (œ/æ) in Cisco Unity Connection 14.10 interfaces.
Certified for UCM 14.0(1)SU5 and later versions, the package requires 3.6GB storage per cluster node and integrates with Cisco Prime Collaboration 15.4 for centralized linguistic governance.
