Alternative names for volumes may be used, such as Tome, Book, Part, or their non-English equivalents.
- Note that if the main title of a Release is just "Volume 1" or similar then this guideline should not apply!
- Also note that the guidelines for abbreviations say that you should not use abbreviations in titles. So "Vol." should always be expanded to "Volume" (assuming the release language is English).
- Also note that the subtitle of a release of a series must be formatted according to the guidelines for subtitles.
