I agree with everything said in the following reply, except that in my
experience, when you disassociate the class from the component, the language
does NOT revert back. I just tried it and it seemed to work fine.
Here is a script that will do what is suggested (create a module, assign the
language, assign a class to it, and then delete the module), so that you can
do it in one quick step via a script, rather than doing it by hand.
No error checking, niceties, etc.... but it is start if this is the kind of
thing you need to do.

' Simple script to assign a language to a class, without having
' to create a module by hand
Sub Main
' Get the selected class
' This assumes only one selected - also no error checking
' to see if the item selected is really a class
Dim class As Class
Set class = RoseApp.CurrentModel.GetSelectedClasses().GetAt(1)
' Ask the user what language
' Could provide a list, etc., but quick and dirty for now
Dim lang As String
lang = AskBox("Enter language")
' Get the component view
Dim subs As Subsystem
Set subs = RoseApp.CurrentModel.RootSubsystem
' Create a temp module
Dim module As Module
Set module = subs.AddModule("temp")
' Assign the user specified language to the module
module.AssignedLanguage = lang
' Assign the module to the class, so its language gets changed
class.AddAssignedModule module
' and now delete the temporary module
Dim result As Boolean
result = subs.DeleteModule(module)
End Sub
