Introduction to cm-locale-ar_TN-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512
This localization package provides full Tunisian Arabic (ar_TN) language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1, enabling right-to-left (RTL) text rendering across administrative consoles, IP phone displays, and diagnostic logs. Released in Q2 2025 under Cisco’s MENA Localization Initiative, it complies with Unicode 15.0 standards for Maghrebi Arabic script support and Tunisia’s NTRA telecommunications regulations.
The software integrates with Cisco’s Webex Calling ecosystem, ensuring consistent linguistic experiences across 7800/8800 series IP phones and Jabber clients. The embedded SHA512 checksum guarantees cryptographic integrity during distribution, aligning with ISO/IEC 10118-3:2024 security standards.
Key Features and Improvements
-
Right-to-Left Interface Optimization
- Implements CSS3 flexbox layouts for RTL text alignment in CUCM’s web admin portal
- Fixes diacritic rendering issues for Tunisian-specific characters (e.g., “ڨ/ڢ”) on 8865/8845 IP phones
-
Regulatory Compliance
- Adheres to Tunisian ICT Ministry Decree 2024-117 for telecom software localization
- Updates TLS 1.3 cipher suites to meet Central Bank of Tunisia’s cybersecurity guidelines
-
Administrative Enhancements
- Localizes 97% of Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT) alerts
- Adds Tunisian dialect support for automated voice prompts in Unified Contact Center
-
Performance Optimization
- 25% faster language pack loading vs. CUCM 14.0.0 Arabic locale
- Concurrent installation with up to 3 other language packs

Implementation Notes
- Requires cluster-wide service restart post-installation
- Third-party CRM integration menus remain left-aligned – use CSS overrides via Cisco DevNet APIs
- Excludes Libyan Arabic dialect support – deploy separate locale pack for Tripoli-based deployments
