Introduction to ps-locale-ar_OM-15.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
This localization package provides native Omani Arabic (ar-OM) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 15.0.1 environments, addressing regulatory compliance requirements under Oman’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) 2024 directives. Released through Cisco’s Global Language Compliance Program in Q4 2025, it implements:
- Regional dialect adaptation: 2,200+ translated system prompts with Oman-specific terminology
- Regulatory formatting: Emergency service labels compliant with TRA Directive 2024/09
- Currency handling: Omani rial (OMR) formatting in billing reports per Central Bank of Oman standards
The .cop.sha512 extension confirms cryptographic validation using FIPS 140-3 compliant SHA-512 hashing, aligning with Cisco’s Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC). Compatible with CUCM clusters running 15.0.1SU5 or later.
