As a Catholic, I have to say that whether or not some people said the rosary in Latin, I have no I idea, but I don't believe it was ever a requirement. It is completely independent of the mass and was developed c. 9th century by some spititual Celts who themselves probably did not know Latin. Often when the mass was in Latin, people who didn't understand Latin would pray the rosary during the service because it was something that they did understand.
