Introduction to ps-locale-ar_EG-15.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
This Cisco Collaboration software package provides Egyptian Arabic (ar_EG) localization for Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 15.x deployments. Officially released in Q3 2025, it enables precise regional language configuration including:
- Right-to-left text rendering in administrative portals and user interfaces
- Egypt-specific date formats with Hijri calendar integration
- Arabic script normalization for directory services (e.g., ء, ة, ى character support)
The COP file requires cryptographic validation using the SHA512 checksum to ensure file integrity during distribution. Compatible with CUCM clusters running version 15.0.1 or newer, it demands active Cisco Smart Software Licensing for authorized access.
