Introduction to ps-locale-ar_MA-15.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512
This cryptographic hash-verified localization package enables native Arabic (Morocco) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 15.0.1 SU2 deployments. Designed for enterprises operating in Morocco and Maghreb regions, it implements Unicode 15.0 compliance for administrative interfaces while maintaining full interoperability with CUCM’s core telephony infrastructure.
The SHA-512 checksum ensures file integrity during distribution, adhering to Cisco’s Enhanced Software Download (ESD) security protocols. Released as part of CUCM’s Q2 2025 software update cycle, this package addresses Morocco-specific linguistic requirements including right-to-left (RTL) text alignment and Hijri/Gregorian dual calendar integration for call detail records (CDRs).
