​Introduction to cm-locale-ar_BH-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512​

This SHA512-signed cryptographic package delivers Bahrain-specific Arabic (ar_BH) localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1 and associated collaboration platforms. Designed for Middle Eastern enterprises requiring compliance with Bahrain’s National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) guidelines, it implements region-specific adaptations including:

  • Hijri/Gregorian dual calendar synchronization in call logs
  • Arabic numeral conversion aligned with Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) standards
  • Right-to-left (RTL) text rendering across 19,000+ UI elements

Released under Cisco’s Global Language Compliance Initiative (Q4 2024), the package utilizes FIPS 140-3 validated encryption for integrity verification during installation and quarterly audits. It supports regulatory compliance for multinational corporations operating under Bahrain’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL 2023).
