Introduction to ps-locale-ar_BH-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512

This cryptographic-signed localization package provides native Arabic language support with Bahrain regional adaptations (ar_BH) for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 14.0 environments. Designed under ISO 8859-6 and Unicode CLDR v42 standards, it ensures right-to-left text rendering, Hijri/Gregorian calendar conversion, and administrative interface translations compliant with Bahrain’s Central Bank currency formatting rules.
