Introduction to ps-locale-ar_BH-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512 Software
This Cisco Options Package (COP) delivers Arabic (Bahrain) language localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1, addressing linguistic compliance requirements under Bahrain’s National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) guidelines. It enables full Arabic right-to-left (RTL) text rendering in CUCM administration portals, IP phone displays, and Webex collaboration tools – critical for enterprises operating in Bahrain’s bilingual business environment.
Released in Q3 2024 as part of Cisco’s Middle East localization initiative, this SHA512-signed package supports CUCM clusters running 14.0(1)SU2 or later. Validated endpoints include Cisco IP Phone 8865/8865NR with Arabic keypads, Webex Room Kit Pro, and Jabber clients requiring ISO 639-3 Arabic (ar_BH) localization.
