Introduction to “ps-locale-ar_BH-12.5.1.5000-1.cop.sgn”

This digitally signed locale package provides comprehensive Arabic language support tailored for Bahraini regional standards within Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.1 environments. Designed for enterprises operating in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, it implements ar_BH locale specifications including right-to-left text rendering and Hijri/Gregorian calendar displays.

The “.sgn” extension confirms Cisco’s cryptographic signature validation, ensuring package authenticity during deployment. Compatible with CUCM 12.5.x clusters, this localization solution supports 550+ interface elements across administrative consoles, endpoint devices, and reporting tools while maintaining compliance with Bahrain’s Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) financial communication regulations.
