Introduction to cm-locale-ar_MA-14.0.1.1002-1.cop.sha512

This SHA512-signed localization package enables Arabic (Morocco regional variant) language support for Cisco’s Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.x systems. Designed for Middle Eastern enterprise deployments, it provides:

  • Arabic UI translations for CUCM administration portals
  • RTL (Right-to-Left) text rendering compatibility
  • Locale-specific datetime/number formatting (Hijri calendar support)
  • Dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) mapping optimizations

Released in Q4 2024 as part of CUCM 14.0.1.1002 maintenance refresh, it requires minimum CUCM 14.0(1)SU2 or later. The .cop file format ensures cryptographic integrity through SHA512 hashing per Cisco’s secure software distribution standards.
