1. Introduction to cm-locale-ar_TN-11.5.1.8100-1.cop.sgn
This Cisco OS Package (COP) delivers comprehensive Arabic (Tunisia) localization for Cisco Meeting Server (CMS) 11.5.1 environments, implementing right-to-left (RTL) text rendering and Maghreb Arabic dialect adaptations. Designed for organizations complying with North African telecommunications regulations (ARCEP-TN 2024/07), it localizes 2,800+ UI elements across CMS web interfaces, including administrative dashboards and participant control panels.
The package supports virtualized CMS deployments on Cisco UCS C220 M5 servers with VMware ESXi 7.0U2+ and hybrid configurations integrating CMS 2000 hardware appliances. As a supplemental language module, it operates alongside existing English/French locale configurations without overwriting base language resources.
