Introduction to cm-locale-ar_BH-11.5.1.10000-1.cop.sgn

The cm-locale-ar_BH-11.5.1.10000-1.cop.sgn file constitutes Cisco’s official Arabic (Bahrain) localization package for Collaboration Manager 11.5.1 systems, designed to enable region-specific compliance for Middle Eastern deployments. This locale bundle provides critical linguistic and cultural adaptations including right-to-left text rendering, Hijri calendar integration, and Bahraini dinar currency formatting.

Certified for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 11.5.1(SU3) and later, the package ensures proper display of Arabic script in call detail records (CDRs), meeting scheduling interfaces, and administrative portals. The localization extends to Cisco Webex Edge Connect integrations, supporting Bahrain’s telecommunications regulatory requirements.

Cisco released this build in Q3 2024 to address growing demand for Arabic localization in GCC markets, with validation completed on UCS C240 M5 servers running VMware ESXi 7.0 Update 3. The package maintains backward compatibility with Collaboration Manager 11.5(1) clusters while introducing Unicode 15.0 Arabic script enhancements.
