Introduction to cm-locale-ar_SA-15.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512

This locale installation package enables native Arabic (Saudi Arabia) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 15.0.1 environments. Designed for Middle Eastern enterprise deployments, it provides localized administrative interfaces, date/number formatting, and cultural compliance for Saudi Arabic dialects in Cisco collaboration systems.

The COP file format ensures cryptographic integrity through SHA512 hashing, aligning with Cisco’s secure software distribution standards. Released in Q1 2025 as part of CUCM 15.0.1 maintenance updates, it addresses Saudi Arabia’s regulatory requirements under Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST) guidelines.
