Introduction to cm-locale-ar_MA-12.5.1.2100-1.cop.sgn Software
The cm-locale-ar_MA-12.5.1.2100-1.cop.sgn is a multilingual localization component for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1), designed to deliver Arabic (ar_MA) language support tailored for Morocco’s bilingual regulatory environment. Developed under Cisco’s North African Digital Transformation Initiative, this package complies with Morocco’s Law 24-96 on Telecommunications by implementing dual-script displays (Arabic/French) and MAD currency formatting in compliance reports.
Optimized for enterprise deployments in Casablanca and Rabat regions, it supports Morocco’s Official Gazette No. 7064 requirements for emergency service routing (15/19 codes) and GDPR-equivalent data residency rules. The package ensures accurate rendering of Arabic diacritics (ء/آ/أ) in administrative portals and bidirectional text alignment for mixed-script environments.
