Introduction to cm-locale-ar_MA-12.5.1.5000-1.cop.sgn

This digitally signed COP file provides official Arabic (Morocco) localization support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1 deployments, enabling full RTL (right-to-left) text rendering and regional compliance in collaboration environments. Released under Cisco’s Q1 2025 language pack roadmap, it implements Morocco-specific date/time formats (Gregorian/Hijri dual calendar), currency symbols (MAD), and telecom regulatory requirements for North African deployments.

Compatible with CUCM clusters running 12.5(1)SU2 or later, the package modifies 23 system services including Cisco Unified Reporting, Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT), and Bulk Administration Tool (BAT). The “ar_MA” locale code adheres to IETF BCP 47 standards, requiring UTF-8 character encoding across all nodes.
