1. Introduction to cm-locale-ar_QA-11.5.1.10000-1.cop.sgn Software
cm-locale-ar_QA-11.5.1.10000-1.cop.sgn is Cisco’s official localization package for deploying Arabic (Qatar) language support in Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 11.5(1) environments. This signed COP file enables Qatar-based enterprises to implement culturally adapted interfaces across Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series devices and Unified Communications Manager Web Administration portals.
Developed under Cisco’s Middle East Localization Initiative, the package addresses RTL (Right-to-Left) text rendering challenges while maintaining compatibility with existing EN-US locale configurations. The release resolves calendar synchronization discrepancies between Gregorian and Hijri date formats first reported in CUCM 11.0(1)SU2 deployments.
