Introduction to cm-locale-ar_EG-12.5.1.2100-1.cop.sgn

This Cisco-signed COP file delivers official Arabic (Egypt) localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1) and later deployments. Developed under Cisco’s MENA Localization Program, the package addresses Egypt’s National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) mandates for RTL text rendering and emergency service routing (122/123). Backward compatibility extends to CUCM 11.5(x) clusters until their scheduled end-of-support in Q1 2027.

Released in Q2 2025 through Cisco’s Middle East Localization Initiative, version 12.5.1.2100-1 resolves critical UI alignment issues identified in NTRA compliance audits, including proper Hijri calendar integration and Egyptian VAT-compliant billing formats.
