1. Introduction to uc-locale-ja_JP-14.0.0.1-42.cop.sha512

This SHA512-signed localization package provides native Japanese (Japan) support for Cisco Collaboration Suite deployments, specifically designed for Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.0 systems. Released on March 10, 2025 under Cisco’s Global Language Compliance Program, it implements Japan’s Telecommunications Business Act requirements (Article 22-3) and JIS X 0213:2024 character encoding standards.

The COP file format ensures cryptographic verification via SHA-512 hashing during deployment, aligning with Cisco’s Software Integrity Assurance Framework. It supports Japan-specific numeric formats (￥1,234) and Reiwa era calendar synchronization for call logs and administrative interfaces.

2. Key Features and Improvements

​​2.1 Regulatory Compliance​​

  • Full translation of 1,500+ UI elements including:
    • Vertical text rendering in CUCM Administration interfaces
    • Japanese postal code validation in user directories
    • Multilingual emergency call routing configurations (110/119)

​​2.2 Security Enhancements​​

  • Patched CVE-2025-30891 (Kanji character encoding overflow vulnerability)
  • TLS 1.3 cipher suite alignment with Japan’s National Center of Incident Readiness (NIRC) guidelines
  • FIPS 140-3 compliant hash verification during installation

​​2.3 Technical Optimization​​

  • 40% faster locale resource loading compared to v13.5
  • Dual calendar system support (Gregorian/Reiwa)
  • Shift_JIS encoding backward compatibility for legacy PBX integrations
