Introduction to ps-locale-ar_QA-12.5.1.5000-1.cop.sgn

This Arabic (Qatar) localization package enables comprehensive right-to-left text rendering and cultural formatting compliance for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1) deployments. Designed to meet Qatar Central Bank’s 2025 financial reporting mandates, it implements dual calendar synchronization (Hijri/Gregorian) and QAR currency localization in billing systems. Certified for CUCM clusters running 12.5(1)SU6+, the software supports both UCS C240 M6 servers and VMware ESXi 8.0U2+ environments.

Released under Cisco’s Middle East Digital Transformation Initiative in Q3 2025, this package resolves text alignment issues in Jabber 12.14+ Arabic interfaces and enhances emergency service compliance with Qatar’s National Civil Defense Protocol.
