Hello

I have mostly rewrite the support of multiple languages for Morocco
The result is now here :
http://osmose.openstreetmap.fr/fr/map/#item=5060&country=morocco

Mainly:
- I add the support of Tamazight with fallback to Berber
- I add the support of only one language in name an on other one into 
name:xx

Please check the result of Osmose analysis and comment if you think 
there are bad results or idea for improvements.

Thank you.

Frédéric.
