​​Introduction to ps-locale-ar_AE-12.5.1.8000-1.cop.sha512​​

This localization package provides native Arabic (United Arab Emirates dialect) language support for Cisco Collaboration Manager 12.5.1 environments. Released under Cisco’s Middle Eastern Digital Transformation Initiative in Q4 2025, it resolves 22 linguistic and regulatory discrepancies from previous Arabic localization builds, including bidirectional text alignment conflicts in administrative consoles and Hijri/Gregorian calendar synchronization challenges.
