This is a basic introduction to the grammar of the GTS signs found in Vendetta Online. Parentheses separate spelt-out words.

'''Transliteration: '''
(CH A N B O K A) Commodity
'''Translation: '''
Chanboka Commodities
In this case, the assumption that "commodity" is plural is safe because otherwise the sign would not make sense.

'''Transliteration: '''
(S A N D A R) One (ordinal) In Ship Repair
'''Translation: '''
Sandar - First in (at) Ship Repairs
The <b>'</b> indicates that the numeral preceding it is an ordinal. (first, second, third, etc.) The "in" symbol could make sense interpreted as either "at" or "in", so this is indicated. The sign makes slightly more sense with "repair" in the plural.
In this case, the assumption that "commodity" is plural is safe because otherwise the sign would not make sense.
