Thanks Robert for your up-to-date guide :-) I've added some comments
inline.

If you're going to be developing, I'd say pick nightly. The -release
versions of lttoolbox and apertium might not be up-to-date with what
apertium-init expects.

^ that command is for retrieving *existing* language pairs and
monolingual data, e.g. if you want to add words to eng-kaz or whatnot.

If you're doing language pair development, you should not ever have to
type "make install" (and thus --prefix isn't necessary either).
Similarly, "sudo" command is only necessary when doing "apt install" or
running the install-nightly.sh script. Don't use it when developing.

PROTIP: You can get tab-completion on modes names (and the --with-lang
arguments to autogen.sh) by adding
