Introduction to cm-locale-ar_AE-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn
The cm-locale-ar_AE-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn is an official Cisco localization package designed to enable full Arabic (United Arab Emirates) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM) Release 12.5(1). This software ensures right-to-left (RTL) text rendering compatibility, localized administrative interfaces, and region-specific telephony standards compliance for enterprise deployments in Arabic-speaking markets.
Cisco’s locale packs streamline multilingual UC operations by embedding locale definitions directly into UCM clusters. This release aligns with ITU-T E.164 numbering standards for UAE and integrates with Cisco’s IM and Presence Service when paired with the corresponding ps-locale-ar_AE package.
