​​Introduction to ps-locale-ar_MA-12.5.1.7000-1.cop.sha512​​

The ​​ps-locale-ar_MA-12.5.1.7000-1.cop.sha512​​ is an official Cisco localization package enabling Arabic (Morocco) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1 systems. Released on January 20, 2025, this SHA512-signed COP file implements ISO 639-3:2024-compliant translations for administrative interfaces and device configurations, adhering to Morocco’s National Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (ANRT) standards for regional compliance.

Designed for enterprises operating in North African markets, it supports hybrid deployments integrating on-premises CUCM clusters with Webex Calling services. The package ensures UI consistency across Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series endpoints and Webex App users, with localized emergency service routing for Moroccan telecom providers like Maroc Telecom.
