Introduction to ps-locale-ar_EG-12.5.1.8000-1.cop.sha512

This Egyptian Arabic localization package enables full linguistic and regulatory compliance for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1) deployments, addressing Egypt’s National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) 2026 mandates for right-to-left text rendering and emergency service integration. Released under Cisco’s Middle East Localization Initiative in Q3 2027, it implements Egypt Standard Time (UTC+2) synchronization and EGP currency formatting while supporting ISO/IEC 8859-6 Arabic script encoding standards.

Certified for CUCM clusters running 12.5(1)SU16+, the software resolves diacritic rendering issues in Jabber 12.24+ Arabic interfaces and enhances compliance with Egypt’s Emergency Call Law 2025. Compatible with both physical UCS C240 M7 servers and VMware ESXi 8.0U9+ virtualization environments.
