​Introduction to cm-locale-ar_BH-12.5.1.6000-1.cop.sgn Software​

This cryptographic-signed localization package provides Arabic (ar_BH) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1), designed to comply with Bahrain’s National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) Directive 2025-03. The package translates 2,400+ interface elements across administrative portals, API error handling systems, and endpoint configurations with Unicode 15.0 Arabic script rendering optimized for Gulf dialect terminology.

Released on May 6, 2025 (build 6000-1), it resolves 31 localization defects including bidirectional text formatting errors in Webex Calling and Hijri/Gregorian calendar synchronization issues. Mandatory SHA512 checksum validation ensures installation integrity per FIPS 140-3 security standards.
