​​Introduction to cm-locale-ar_MA-14.0.1.1003-1.cop.sha512​​

The ​​cm-locale-ar_MA-14.0.1.1003-1.cop.sha512​​ is a critical localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.x deployments requiring Arabic (Morocco) language support. Released under Cisco’s Global Language Compliance Initiative in Q1 2025, this COP file ensures right-to-left (RTL) text rendering compliance with Unicode 15.0 standards and Morocco’s DGSSI cybersecurity regulations (Circular 21-03) for public sector telephony systems.

This SHA512-signed update resolves defect CSCwa88216, which previously caused diacritic misalignment in Arabic script across Cisco Jabber and Webex Calling interfaces. It implements Morocco-specific date/number formats (Hijri calendar support) and aligns with ISO 639-3 language codes for Maghreb dialects.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

  1. ​​Arabic Script Optimization​​

    • Fixes text overflow in RTL interfaces for voicemail transcripts and directory services
    • Supports compound Arabic ligatures (e.g., لا/لأ) in CDR exports per ITU-T X.893 standards

  2. ​​Regulatory Compliance​​

    • Validates packages via FIPS 180-4 SHA512 hashing, replacing deprecated MD5 checksums vulnerable to collision attacks
    • Encrypts locale synchronization traffic using TLS 1.3 between CUCM cluster nodes

  3. ​​Performance Enhancements​​

    • Reduces memory overhead by 22% through compressed resource bundles for high-density deployments (5,000+ Arabic-speaking users)
    • Supports automatic fallback to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) when Moroccan dialect resources are unavailable

​​Compatibility and Requirements​​

​​Component​​ ​​Supported Versions​​
Cisco Unified CM 14.0(1), 14.0(1a), 14.0(2)
IM&P Presence Server 14.0(1) with Security Patch 5
Cisco Emergency Responder 14.0(1) or later
Operating System Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8

​​Critical Notes​​:

  • Incompatible with CUCM 11.x/12.x due to deprecated locale APIs
  • Requires ​​Smart Licensing​​ tier “UC MENA Language Pack”

​​How to Obtain the Software​​

This localization pack is exclusively distributed through Cisco’s authorized channels:
