-This will create a new build for axe, called `axe.<lang>.js` and `axe.<lang>.min.js`. If you want to build localized versions, simply pass in `--all-lang` instead. If you want to build multiple localized versions (but not all of them), you can pass in a comma-separated list of languages to the `--lang` flag, like `--lang=nl,ja`.
