Introduction to cm-locale-ar_MA-11.5.1.8100-1.cop.sgn

This locale package enables Moroccan Arabic (Darija) language support in Cisco’s Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 11.5(1)SU10 and later versions, specifically tailored to meet Morocco’s telecom regulatory standards (ANRT 2024-11 compliance). Designed for enterprises operating in North Africa, it implements Maghreb French-Arabic hybrid terminology and supports bidirectional text rendering for administrative consoles, voicemail interfaces, and call detail records.

The software integrates with Cisco Webex Hybrid Services and Jabber 12.9+ clients, providing localized interface elements compliant with Morocco’s data privacy law 09-08. Compatible deployments require CUCM clusters running on Cisco UCS C-Series M6 servers with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6+, particularly targeting organizations using Cisco Unified Contact Center Express for French-Arabic bilingual support.
