AACR2 Chapter 1 Key Rules
Title proper:
1.6B1
If an item is issued in a series, transcribe the title proper of the series ...1.6B2
If different forms of the title of the series (other than parallel titles) appear, choose the title given in the first of the prescribed sources for the series area as the title proper of the series.1.6 (LCRI)
Language editions
Numbered series: Distinguish between series that are issued in two or more parallel editions, i.e., complete editions in each language for which separate records and the use of uniform titles (cf. AACR2 25.3C3) are appropriate and those that are issued variously in two or more languages but for which no separate editions of the series exist in any language. If no separate editions exist, establish a single heading, basing it on the first item in the series; if the first item is not available, base the heading provisionally on the earliest item available. If the first/earliest item itself is issued in several languages, choose the language of the title proper of the series according to the provisions of AACR2 1.0H. In case of doubt, assume that a single edition exists.1.6B (LCRI)
If a series title appears in two or more languages or scripts, choose as the title proper for the series statement the title that matches the language (or the clearly predominant language) of the particular item being cataloged. If this criterion cannot be applied, choose the first series title as the title proper. ...1.6C (LCRI)
After recording the title proper (cf. LCRI 1.6B), give the first parallel title and any subsequent parallel title in English.Numbering:
1.6G1
Give the numbering of the item within the series in the terms given in the item. Use abbreviations as instructed in appendix B and numerals as instructed in appendix C.1.6G (LCRI)

If the numbering, etc., of the series volume is grammatically integrated with the series title, record the numbering, etc., as part of the title proper of the series.1.6G (LCRI)
If the number is combined with a full or partial indication of a year, determine if the year is the publication date or if the year is serving as a volume number and the numeral is the sequential number within that year. If the year is the publication date, omit the year information when transcribing the number. If the year is serving as a volume number, transcribe the numbering as found on the item. In case of doubt, assume that the year is serving as a volume number.Subseries:
1.6H (LCRI)
If there is doubt whether one of the titles is a subseries or a second series, treat it as a second series.If such phrases as "new series," "second series," etc., appear with a numbered series, record the phrases as part of the numbering for that series. If the series is unnumbered, record such a phrase as a subseries title.
