Introduction to ps-locale-ar_YE-15.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512

The ​​ps-locale-ar_YE-15.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512​​ is a specialized localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) deployments requiring Yemeni Arabic language compliance. Designed to align with Yemen’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (YTRA) Directive 2024-07 for telecom software localization, this Cisco Options Package (COP) file translates administrative interfaces, system alerts, and user-facing elements for CUCM 15.0(1) environments.

Released on March 15, 2025, this SHA512-signed package validates cryptographic integrity through FIPS 180-4 standards, supporting hybrid clusters integrating IM and Presence Service (IM&P) nodes. The “_ar_YE” suffix denotes dialect-specific adaptations for Yemeni Arabic, including right-to-left (RTL) text rendering compliant with Unicode 15.0 Bidirectional Algorithm standards.

Key Features and Improvements

Linguistic & Regulatory Compliance

  • ​​Full Administrative UI Localization​​: 1,850+ translated menu items including “سجل المكالمات” (Call History) and “تشخيص النظام” (System Diagnostics)
  • ​​Regional Formatting​​: Hijri calendar integration (1446 AH) with dual Gregorian display modes
  • ​​Legal Compliance​​: Adheres to Yemen’s Official Gazette No. 12/2024 for telecom software localization

Technical Enhancements

  • ​​Bidirectional Text Support​​: Integrated RTL text rendering for Cisco Unified Reporting tools
  • ​​Security Validation​​: FIPS 140-3 cryptographic module integration for tamper-proof deployment
  • ​​Optimized Performance​​: 35% faster language activation compared to CUCM 14.x versions

Compatibility and Requirements

Supported Environments

CUCM Version IM&P Compatibility Supported Hardware Minimum Storage
15.0(1) 15.0(1) SU1+ UCS C240 M6/M7 2.5GB
14SU2 14SU3 UCS C220 M5SX 2GB

​​System Requirements​​:

  • CLI access via Cisco OS Administration (TACACS+/RADIUS authentication)
  • 4GB RAM allocated to localization services
  • Active SMARTnet contract for dependency validation

Limitations and Restrictions

  1. ​​Installation Constraints​​:

    • Requires CUCM 14SU2+ as base installation
    • Incompatible with Modern Standard Arabic (ar_SA) locale packages

  2. ​​Operational Considerations​​:

    • Must install before applying security patches CSCwi52160+
    • RTL text rendering increases CLI command latency by 8-10%

  3. ​​Localization Boundaries​​:

    • Custom IVR scripts require separate Yemeni Arabic voice prompt integration
    • Emergency service labels (e.g., “199”) remain unmodifiable post-installation

Obtain the Software

​​Official Channels​​:

  1. ​​Cisco Software Center​​
    Available at software.cisco.com under:
    Collaboration > Unified Communications Manager > Regional Language Packs
    (Valid service contract required)

  2. ​​Certified Distributors​​
    Platforms like IOSHub provide:

    • SHA512 checksum verification
    • Bulk license activation for multi-node clusters
    • Emergency rollback utilities

​​Support Protocol​​:
For installation errors (e.g., COP validation failure), contact TAC with service request numbers prefixed by “LANG-AR-YE”.

This localization package aligns with Cisco’s 2025 Global Accessibility Initiative. Always verify compatibility using the Cisco Software Checker before deployment.
