Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Here you've changed the "name" tag of Morocco from an Arabic/Berber combination (previously it was French/Arabic/Berber) to English.
The "name:en" (i.e. the English name) has been "Morocco" all the way through this process.
This changes the "name" for everyone, including those people who live in Morocco (and speak Arabic/French/Berber as a first language). When changing country names in OSM I'd always suggest trying to contact the local community first so that they're happy with any change.
If you're trying to just "see a map with English names on it" then on the OpenStreetMap site I'd suggest the Cycle map which does exactly that.
Best Regards,
Andy
