Introduction to cm-locale-ar_TN-12.5.1.5000-1.cop.sgn

This cryptographic software package delivers Arabic (Tunisia) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1) systems, enabling localized interface displays and regional compliance for North African deployments. Released in Q1 2025, it implements IANA timezone updates and linguistic rules specific to Tunisian French-Arabic bilingual environments.

The locale pack maintains compatibility with Cisco UCS C-Series servers (C220/C240 M7) and virtualized platforms using VMware ESXi 8.0 U1+ or KVM 5.18+ hypervisors. It resolves 9 localization discrepancies identified in CUCM 12.0-12.5 clusters, including right-to-left text alignment fixes for Jabber client interfaces and Hijri calendar synchronization improvements.
