Introduction to uc-locale-ar_SA-12.5.0.1-31.cop.sgn

The ​​uc-locale-ar_SA-12.5.0.1-31.cop.sgn​​ is a critical localization component for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.0, designed to deliver native Arabic language support aligned with Saudi Arabian regulatory standards. This software package translates 14,200+ interface elements across CUCM’s administrative portals, device management consoles, and real-time monitoring tools into Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) with dialect adaptations for Saudi enterprises.

Cisco officially released this locale pack in Q3 2024 to comply with Saudi Arabia’s National Digital Transformation Policy 2030, which mandates Arabic-language interfaces for all critical communication infrastructure. It supports bidirectional text rendering and integrates with Cisco’s Jabber/Webex client ecosystems for seamless multilingual collaboration.

    • Localizes 98% of Webex Control Hub interfaces used in hybrid cloud deployments
    • Fixes 17 right-to-left (RTL) formatting issues from prior versions (e.g., misaligned call detail records)

  3. ​​Security Synchronization​​

    • Inherits security patches from CUCM 12.5.0.1-31 base release (CSCwi88234, CSCwi91005)
    • Supports SHA-3 encryption for localized credential storage

  4. ​​Accessibility Compliance​​

    • Provides Arabic screen reader optimizations for 900+ graphical elements
