Introduction to cm-locale-ar_BH-12.5.1.8000-1.cop.sha512

This cryptographic locale package delivers specialized Arabic language support optimized for Bahraini regional standards in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1) environments. Released in Q1 2026, it implements Unicode 16.1 Arabic script rendering rules and complies with Bahrain’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) localization mandates for enterprise communication systems.

The software maintains compatibility with Cisco UCS C-Series servers (C220/C240 M8) and virtualized deployments using VMware ESXi 9.0+ or KVM 8.0+ hypervisors. It resolves 13 localization issues identified in previous CUCM versions, including bidirectional text alignment improvements for Jabber interfaces and Hijri/Gregorian calendar synchronization enhancements.
