English translation:in accordance with the Decree of 24 Chaoual 1333
Explanation:
A dahir (in English transliteration normally spelt "zahir" - there should be a dot stuck underneath the z) is a decree or proclamation, edict, ordinance, etc., a political term used, as far as I know, only in Morocco. It is an Arabic word with an Arabic derivation (from the verb "zahara", which among other things means "to publish" or "to proclaim", and I don't know what the Berber connection may be; perhaps the Arabic derivation is a coincidence with a Berber word.

The month of Chaoual (Shawwal) is, as correctly stated, a month of the Muslim year.

As for spelling, there are two principal traditional transliteration systems for Arabic terms, one coming from the French-orientated Arabic countries and the other from the Anglo-orientated Arabic countries. Since this is a Moroccan reference, I reckon you should stick to the French version of the spelling.

Personal experience, confirmed by reference to my Arabic dictionaries.

Perhaps I should have added: A \"dahir\" is a royal decree by the King of Morocco\". I\'d leave it as it is.

neutral  cheungmo: I'd probably go with the spelling of "Shawwal" here but I won't comment on whether the King of Morocco is necessarily making a "Berber" decree when pronoucing a dahir.
