Introduction to cm-locale-ar_YE-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
The cm-locale-ar_YE-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512 is a specialized localization component for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) systems requiring compliance with Yemeni Arabic language standards and Middle Eastern telecommunications regulations. Designed under Cisco’s Middle East Localization Program, this software implements right-to-left text rendering, Hijri calendar integration, and Yemen-specific emergency service number handling (199) for enterprise voice networks.
Compatible with CUCM 14.0(1) SU10 and later, this COP file addresses Yemen’s 2025 National Telecom Regulatory Framework requirements for caller ID localization and Arabic script compliance. It supports hybrid deployments integrating Cisco Webex Calling, third-party SIP devices, and legacy TDM networks operating under Yemeni telecom laws.
