Introduction to cm-locale-ar_MA-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512
The cm-locale-ar_MA-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512 is a language localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1, designed to enable full Arabic (Morocco) language support across collaboration interfaces. This Cisco Options Package (COP) file provides region-specific translations for administrative portals, user devices, and system-generated alerts, ensuring compliance with Morocco’s linguistic and regulatory standards.
Released in Q4 2023 as part of Cisco’s Global Localization Initiative, this package targets enterprises operating in Morocco or serving Arabic-speaking users requiring dialect-specific formatting. It is validated for CUCM 14.0.1 SU2 and later versions, with backward compatibility for 14.0.x deployments.
Key Features and Improvements
This locale pack introduces critical regional adaptations and technical optimizations:
-
Arabic (ar_MA) Language Standardization
- Implements Morocco-specific Arabic translations for:
- Voicemail prompts (time/date formats using Hijri/Gregorian hybrid)
- IP phone displays (Cisco 8800/7800 series)
- CUCM administrative GUI and bulk administration tools
- Implements Morocco-specific Arabic translations for:
-
Right-to-Left (RTL) Text Rendering
- Supports RTL alignment for call logs, directories, and system alerts on compatible endpoints.
-
Regulatory Compliance
- Integrates Morocco’s national numbering plan (+212) into auto-generated caller IDs.
- Adheres to RFC 6350 for locale-aware vCard formatting.
-
Security Enhancements
- Patches CVE-2023-20273 (locale-based cross-site scripting vulnerability) disclosed in Cisco’s October 2023 security advisory.

Limitations and Restrictions
-
Partial Third-Party Integration
- Microsoft Teams Direct Routing retains English-only call detail records (CDRs).
