Introduction to ps-locale-ar_YE-12.5.1.8000-1.cop.sha512
The ps-locale-ar_YE-12.5.1.8000-1.cop.sha512 is a critical localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) systems, designed to enable full Arabic (Yemen) language support across administrative interfaces, user portals, and endpoint devices. Released on May 10, 2025, this software addresses Yemen’s National Information Security Framework requirements and regional Arabic localization standards for enterprises operating in the Middle East or multinational organizations requiring Yemeni dialect adaptations.
This Cisco Options Package (COP) file integrates with CUCM 12.5(1) and later versions, providing essential support for:
- Unified CM Administration menus with Yemeni Arabic diacritic support (ء، ئ، ؤ)
- Cisco Unity Connection voicemail interfaces using Hijri/Gregorian dual calendar formats
- Compliance with Yemen’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) regulations
- Arabic keyboard mappings for Cisco IP Phone 8800/8900 Series
Key Features and Improvements
1. Regional RTL Optimization
Resolves 22 locale-specific rendering issues in CUCM 12.5(1), including misaligned dropdown menus in the Call Routing module and corrupted Arabic ligatures in CDR exports. Achieves 99.6% Unicode 15.0 Arabic character coverage.
2. Regulatory Compliance
Implements Yemen-specific requirements:
- Dual timestamp formats (DD/MM/YYYY and Islamic Hijri) in audit logs
- Legal disclaimers for call recording under Yemeni Cybersecurity Law Article 14.
3. Security Enhancements
Patches CVE-2025-2355 related to locale-based SQL injection vulnerabilities in Arabic character input fields. The SHA-512 cryptographic signature ensures file integrity verification during deployment.
4. Device Support Expansion
Adds Yemeni Arabic TTS (Text-to-Speech) support for:
- Cisco Webex Room Kit Pro endpoints with Gulf dialect phonetics
- Cisco Jabber 15.4 client localization with hybrid LTR/RTL UI layouts.
