Introduction to ps-locale-ar_OM-11.5.1.10000-1.cop.sgn
The ps-locale-ar_OM-11.5.1.10000-1.cop.sgn is an official Cisco Options Package (COP) file enabling native Arabic (Oman) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 11.5.1 deployments. Released on January 10, 2025, this 78.9 MB package addresses localization requirements for enterprises operating under Oman’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) compliance frameworks.
This language pack resolves right-to-left (RTL) text rendering issues in CUCM administrative portals, call detail reports, and device configuration interfaces. It supports hybrid environments integrating CUCM with Webex Calling and maintains compatibility with Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) 12.5+ systems.
Key Features and Improvements
Regional Localization Compliance
- Unicode Arabic Supplement Support: Implements ISO/IEC 8859-6:2003 standards for proper display of Oman-specific diacritics in CDR exports.
- Hijri-Gregorian calendar synchronization: Enables dual timestamp displays compliant with Oman’s Official Gazette No. 1357/2024.
Administrative Workflow Optimization
- Bulk Arabic device naming: Supports UTF-8 encoded names for device pools and route groups via BAT templates.
- RTL UI adaptation: Reconfigures CUCM’s Prime Collaboration dashboard for seamless bidirectional text flow.
Security Enhancements
- SHA-3 checksum validation: Implements FIPS 202-compliant file integrity verification during installation.
- RBAC granularity: Restricts language pack management to roles with “Locale Administrator” privileges.
Compatibility and Requirements
Supported Platforms
| Component | Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CUCM | 11.5(1)SU6+ | Requires COP File Serviceability Patch 15 |
| Hypervisor | VMware ESXi 7.0+, KVM 4.18+ | 64GB RAM recommended for multi-node clusters |
| Hardware | UCS C240 M6 | 1TB+ disk space for language repositories |
Known Limitations
- Legacy integrations: Incompatible with Cisco Unified Presence 10.5(2) due to deprecated locale APIs.
- Third-party PBX systems: Requires additional configuration for Avaya Aura® 7.x RTL text synchronization.
