Introduction to cm-locale-ar_IQ-12.5.1.3000-1.cop.sgn

This locale package provides Arabic (Iraq) language support for Cisco Meeting Server 12.5.1 deployments, enabling localized interface displays and regional compliance in call detail records. Released as part of Cisco’s 2023 Middle East Localization Initiative, the software addresses language-specific formatting requirements for date/time stamps, currency symbols, and right-to-left text rendering in collaboration systems.

Compatible with Cisco Meeting Server 12.5.1 virtual appliances, the package supports hybrid deployments integrating Webex Edge for GCC countries. The SHA512-signed COP file (version 3000-1) includes updated Unicode 14.0 mappings for Arabic script variations specific to Iraqi dialects.

Technical Enhancements and Regional Compliance

The locale pack implements three critical updates per Cisco’s 2023 language support roadmap:

  1. ​​Right-to-Left UI Optimization​​

    • Supports bidirectional text rendering in CMS 12.5.1 admin portals
    • Fixes layout overlap issues reported in CSS-2023-1987 technical bulletin

  2. ​​Hijri Calendar Integration​​

    • Enables Islamic calendar display in meeting scheduling interfaces
    • Synchronizes with Saudi Arabian UTC+03:00 timezone configurations

  3. ​​Currency Formatting​​

    • Adds Iraqi Dinar (IQD) symbol placement rules
    • Resolves decimal point localization conflicts in CDR exports

Security updates include TLS 1.2 enforcement for locale package verification and FIPS 140-2 compliant hash validation during installation.
