Introduction to cm-locale-ar_JO-15.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512
This Cisco Options Package (COP) delivers official Arabic (Jordan) language localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) 15.x systems, enabling full linguistic adaptation of administrative interfaces, error messages, and telephony features for Jordanian enterprises. As part of Cisco’s global collaboration software suite, the SHA512-signed package ensures cryptographic integrity verification, meeting enterprise security standards for software distribution.
Released in Q1 2025 through Cisco’s enhanced localization initiative, this version (15.0.1.2000-1) supports Unified CM clusters running 15.0(1)SU2 or later. It addresses regional compliance requirements while maintaining compatibility with multi-language deployments in complex enterprise environments.
Key Features and Improvements
- Cultural Localization
- Implements Jordan-specific Arabic dialect translations for:
- Date/time formats (Gregorian/Hijri calendar support)
- Right-to-left text rendering in Unified Reporting dashboards
- Regional numbering conventions for call detail records
- Security Enhancements
- Utilizes FIPS 140-3 validated SHA512 hashing for installation verification
- Adds localized security prompts compliant with Jordan’s Cybercrime Law No. 27 of 2015
- Technical Advancements
- Resolves 7 locale-specific issues from previous 14.x Arabic packages:
- Character encoding conflicts in Bulk Administration Tool exports
- SIP error message translation inconsistencies
- Calendar synchronization errors with Microsoft 365 integrations
- System Integration
- Maintains linguistic consistency across:
- Cisco Prime Collaboration 15.2+
- Emergency Responder 15.0(3)SU1+
- Unified Contact Center Express 15.0(2)
Compatibility and Requirements

|---|---|
| Unified CM | 15.0(1)SU2 – 15.2(5) |
| IM & Presence Service | 15.0(1) – 15.2(5) |
| Prime Collaboration | 15.0(1) – 15.2(3) |
| Hardware Platforms | UCS C220 M5/C240 M5; Virtualized (ESXi 8.0+/Hyper-V 2024) |
Critical Dependencies:
- Base Unified CM 15.x installation required
- Minimum 3GB free disk space during deployment
- Cisco Security Agent 6.3.0.600+
Limitations and Restrictions
- Version Constraints
- Incompatible with Unified CM versions below 15.0(1)SU2
- Cannot coexist with deprecated ar_JO-14.x locale packages
- Translation Exceptions
- Third-party integration modules retain English UI elements:
- Webex App directory synchronization interfaces
- Google Workspace calendar connectors
- Deployment Protocols
- Requires sequential installation after critical security patches (CSCxx5678+)
- Mandates cluster-wide service restart within 2 hours post-installation
Verified Acquisition Process
While Cisco distributes this package exclusively through its Software Download Center (requiring active service contracts), authorized partners like IOSHub.net provide verified access via Cisco-certified redistribution channels.
Integrity Verification Protocol:
- Validate SHA512 checksum against Cisco’s published value:
