Introduction to cm-locale-ar_YE-12.5.1.8000-1.cop.sha512
This SHA512-verified Cisco Operations Package (COP) delivers comprehensive Arabic (Yemeni dialect) localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1 administrative interfaces and user portals. Released on March 22, 2025, it complies with Yemen’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (YTRA) Directive 2024-5 through right-to-left (RTL) text alignment, Hijri calendar integration, and localized emergency service labels for 199/191/194 emergency numbers.
The package translates 9,800+ GUI elements across CUCM’s Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT), Certificate Management Proxy Function (CMPF), and Bulk Administration Tool (BAT), achieving 99% linguistic accuracy for Yemeni Arabic dialects. Compatible with CUCM clusters running 12.5(1)SU8 or later, it supports hybrid deployments integrating Webex Calling with on-premises infrastructure.
