Introduction to cm-locale-ar_BH-14.0.1.1002-1.cop.sha512

This software package provides full Arabic (Bahrain) localization support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) version 14.0.1, addressing regional compliance requirements for Middle Eastern deployments. Released as a Critical Options Package (COP) file, it enables proper display of date/time formats, currency symbols, and right-to-left text alignment in Bahrain’s Arabic dialect across Cisco collaboration endpoints and administrative interfaces.

Designed for CUCM clusters running Release 14.0.1 ESR (Extended Stable Release), the package includes SHA512 verification to ensure file integrity during deployment. Its development aligns with Cisco’s Global Localization Strategy to meet ITU-T standards for multinational enterprises operating in Arabic-speaking markets.
