* Maggie Robbins in ''VideoGame/TheDig'' is an IntrepidReporter and "good at languages," verging on {{Omniglot}} status. She's especially good at ''learning'' languages, which comes in handy on an alien planet. Thanks to an alien library/teaching machine, she learns enough of the local language to communicate with one of the aliens after only a few hours. [[spoiler: Later the language was revealed to be created as ridiculously easy to learn and it's implied that the government knew the astronauts would end up meeting aliens, and chose Maggie specifically for her language skills.]]

* ''Literature/ChroniclesOfTheImaginariumGeographica'''s portrayal of Creator/JRRTolkien naturally falls into this category. As do all the Keepers by necessity, as the titular atlas is written in a wide variety of languages due to passing through various countries, and for safekeeping from {{Muggle}}s, who are very unlikely to have all the languages necessary to understand it.
