Introduction to cm-locale-ar_OM-12.5.1.8000-1.cop.sha512

This SHA512-validated COP file provides official Arabic (Oman) localization support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1 deployments, designed to meet Oman Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) standards. Released under Cisco’s Q3 2025 globalization roadmap, it implements Omani rial (OMR) currency formatting, Hijri/Gregorian dual calendar synchronization, and emergency service mapping aligned with national telecom regulations.

Compatible with CUCM clusters running 12.5(1)SU5 or later, the package modifies 18 core services including Cisco Unified Reporting and Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT). The “ar_OM” locale code adheres to IETF BCP 47 standards, requiring UTF-8 character encoding and TLS 1.3 protocol for secure deployment across physical UCS C240 M7 servers and VMware ESXi 7.0U3+ virtual environments.
