Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In German and Czech, and likely more languages, a distinction is made between "Bande" (volume/tome of books) and "Jahrgang" (volume of periodicals). Brought to attention (to me at least) in larsgw/citation.js#178. See also https://discourse.citationstyles.org/t/type-dependent-term-locales/1526.

Describe the solution you'd like
One or two new locator terms to distinguish the terms, possibly volume-book and volume-periodical, the latter aliased to volume? Alternatively, avoid confusion and only introduce volume-book (or tome).

Describe alternatives you've considered
A context-dependent locator term, based on the entry type. Requires an entirely new mechanism, probably not feasible.

Additional context
I feel like this might have been discussed before but I have not seen it.

For changes to the CSL RNC schemas, this should include links to citation style guides.
Not sure, sorry.

Thanks for bringing this issue back up. Definitely something we want to fix.

We've discussed this before around the idea of allowing choose to be used in locales. Let me see if I can find those and we can compare pros and cons.

My big concern about adding a separate term is getting this working in existing styles.

Ah, I thought it'd be the other way around in terms of feasibility.
