Olympia Vale is very intelligent and an unusually gifted [[Sangheili (language)|Sangheili]] linguist, having a strong fluency in the language. Vale was a child prodigy growing up, and she succeeded in graduating from [[Sydney University]] by the time she was nineteen.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=OVUniverse}} During her time stranded in space at the age of eleven, she learned to translate thousands upon thousands of Sangheili words, granting her a strong understanding of the language. Vale is able to effectively communicate with [[Sangheili]] without requiring [[translation software]]. At the age of eleven, her knowledge of the Sangheili language was superior to that of the [[artificial intelligence]]s the [[United Nations Space Command]] tasked with translating the language, as she corrected and improved the AIs' existing translations.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=HitD5}} | Olympia Vale is very intelligent and an unusually gifted [[Sangheili (language)|Sangheili]] linguist, having a strong fluency in the language.
