Introduction to cm-locale-ar_MA-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512
This localization package provides Arabic (Morocco) language support for Cisco’s Unified Communications Manager 14.0.1 platform, specifically designed to meet North African regional compliance standards. The “.sha512” extension signifies cryptographic integrity verification through SHA-512 hashing, aligning with Cisco’s Secure Software Lifecycle (SSLC) framework. This release addresses right-to-left text rendering requirements and Maghreb French/Arabic bilingual interface configurations mandated by Moroccan telecom regulations.
Compatible with Cisco Collaboration deployments requiring ITU-T E.164 country code +212 formatting, the package supports bidirectional text in administrative consoles and user portals. Cisco’s release notes confirm this version entered general availability in Q1 2025 as part of the 14.0.1.3000 software maintenance cycle.
