​​Introduction to cm-locale-ar_DZ-12.5.1.7000-1.cop.sha512​​

This Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) localization package delivers comprehensive Algerian Arabic language support across administrative interfaces, device displays, and system diagnostics. Released under Cisco’s Q3 2025 North Africa localization roadmap, it addresses regional compliance mandates for enterprises deploying Cisco collaboration solutions in Algeria.

The software implements:

  • Right-to-left (RTL) text rendering for Cisco Jabber/Webex clients
  • Algerian dialect-specific translations for 4,500+ system prompts
  • Hijri calendar synchronization aligned with Algeria’s official timekeeping standards

Compatible with CUCM 12.5(1) SU5 and later versions, this COP file utilizes SHA-512 cryptographic verification to ensure file integrity during distribution.
