Introduction to ps-locale-ar_BH-14.0.1.4000-1.cop.sha512

This SHA512-signed localization package enables Arabic (Bahrain) language support across Cisco Collaboration products, specifically designed for Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1 deployments. Released on March 18, 2025, it addresses regional compliance requirements for Bahraini government and enterprise environments where Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) with Bahraini dialect adaptations is mandated.

Compatible with Cisco Collaboration Manager 14.0.1 and later versions, the package implements:

  • Right-to-left (RTL) text rendering for call logs
  • Bahrain-specific date/time formats (Hijri/Gregorian dual display)
  • Localized emergency service labels compliant with Bahrain TRA regulations

    • Implements TRA Bahrain Directive 2025-CCS-ARB for E.164 number formatting
    • Supports Arabic numeral variants in voicemail transcripts
    • Resolves 14 UI truncation issues from previous 13.x localization packs

  2. ​​Security Enhancements​​

    • SHA512 integrity verification aligns with FIPS 180-4 standards
    • Embedded digital certificate chain validates Cisco-signed language assets

  3. ​​Performance Optimizations​​

    • 22% faster RTL text rendering in Cisco Unified Reporting
    • Reduced memory footprint (38MB vs. 45MB in v13.2)
