Introduction to cm-locale-ar_TN-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn
The cm-locale-ar_TN-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn is a critical localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1, designed to enable full Tunisian Arabic (ar_TN) language support across administrative interfaces, user portals, and collaboration tools. This COP (Cisco Options Package) file ensures compliance with Tunisia’s regional standards, including right-to-left (RTL) text rendering, Hijri-Gregorian dual calendar integration, and Arabic numeral formatting for enterprise communications systems.
Released under Cisco’s Q3 2025 Extended Software Maintenance cycle, this build (4000-1) resolves localization inconsistencies reported in CUCM 12.5.1 deployments across North African enterprises. It supports Cisco UCS C-Series M7 servers and virtualized environments running VMware ESXi 8.0U4 or later, aligning with Tunisia’s National Cybersecurity Authority (ANSI) regulations.
Key Features and Improvements
-
Comprehensive RTL Interface Adaptation
- Full translation of 6,100+ UI elements in CUCM Administration, including Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT) dashboards and Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) workflows.
- Dynamic layout adjustments for Arabic script in Cisco Unified Reporting PDF exports to prevent text overflow.
-
Regional Regulatory Compliance
- Support for Tunisian Dinar (TND) currency formatting in CDR billing records, including decimal separators aligned with Tunisian Central Bank standards.
- Integration of ANSI-approved root certificates for TLS 1.3 encryption in localized certificate management interfaces.
-
Multi-System Synchronization
- Unified date/time displays across CUCM, Cisco Unity Connection 12.5.1, and Webex App clients using Hijri calendar synchronization.
- Compatibility with Tunisian telecom providers like Ooredoo Tunisia and Orange Tunisie SIP trunk configurations.
-
Enhanced Security Protocols
- Arabic-character validation in X.509v3 certificate Subject Alternative Names (SANs) to prevent encoding conflicts.
- Audit log translations compliant with Tunisia’s Personal Data Protection Law (2018-63), including Arabic timestamp formatting.
