There is no much overlap, well there is no such thing as "Moroccan
Arabic" as a formal language, only standard Arabic is used in writing or
formal communications (taught in schools, written in books, journals and
so), so it is pretty odd to have software UI in a colloquial dialect.

I'm afraid it give wrong political message about Ubuntu (like what
happened with the so called "Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia").
