Introduction to cm-locale-ar_SA-11.5.1.8100-1.cop.sgn

cm-locale-ar_SA-11.5.1.8100-1.cop.sgn is Cisco’s official Arabic (Saudi Arabia) localization package for Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 11.5(1) deployments requiring right-to-left language support and Hijri calendar compliance. This COP file delivers full administrative interface translation aligned with Saudi Arabian Communications Commission (CITC) regulations 2024/15 for enterprise VoIP systems.

The software enables Arabic-speaking operators to manage multi-node CUCM clusters through localized dashboards while maintaining compatibility with Cisco UCS C480 M6 rack servers and VMware vSphere 7.0 U3+ environments. Released in Q3 2024 under Cisco’s Middle East localization initiative, this build resolves 19 localization defects documented in CSCwh94122 through CSCwh94158.
