​Introduction to ps-locale-ar_IQ-12.5.1.5000-1.cop.sgn​

The ps-locale-ar_IQ-12.5.1.5000-1.cop.sgn is a language localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) systems, designed to enable full Arabic (Iraq) Right-to-Left (RTL) text rendering across administrative interfaces, user portals, and endpoint devices. Released on ​​May 10, 2025​​, this software ensures compliance with regional language standards for enterprises operating in Iraq or organizations requiring Arabic localization.

This Cisco Options Package (COP) file integrates with CUCM versions 12.5(1) and later, addressing critical localization needs for:

  • Unified CM Administration menus and error messages
  • Cisco Unity Connection voicemail interfaces
  • Arabic keyboard mappings for Cisco IP Phone 8800/8900 Series
  • Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT) dashboards

​Key Features and Improvements​

1. ​​RTL Text Rendering Optimization​

The update resolves 18 RTL alignment issues in CUCM 12.5(1) interfaces, including misaligned menu hierarchies in the ​​Call Routing​​ module and CDR export reports. Unicode Arabic character coverage now achieves 98.7% compliance with ISO/IEC 8859-6 standards.

2. ​​Timezone and Calendar Support​

Implements Iraq-specific timezone rules (e.g., Asia/Baghdad daylight saving transitions) and Hijri calendar integration for:

  • Holiday routing configurations
  • Automated system event timestamps

3. ​​Security Enhancements​

Patches CVE-2025-2198 related to locale-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities in non-Latin character sets. The cryptographic signature (.sgn) guarantees authenticity during deployment.

4. ​​Device Compatibility Expansion​

Adds full Arabic TTS (Text-to-Speech) support for Cisco Webex Room Kit Pro endpoints and Cisco Jabber 14.6 clients with RTL UI layouts.
