If you exclude application/, then everything under it will always be excluded (even if some later negative exclusion pattern (“unignore”) might match something under application/).
To do what you want, you have to “unignore” every parent directory of anything that you want to “unignore”. Usually you end up writing rules for this situation in pairs: ignore everything in a directory, but not some certain subdirectory.
# you can skip this first one if it is not already excluded by prior patterns !application/ application/* !application/language/ application/language/* !application/language/gr/
Note
The trailing /* is significant:
