There is no such variable as `org-latex-timestamp-format'.

It is difficult.
"%A" depends on a locale built within glibc. Assuming we know the locale
associated to the language string, it may or may not be available in
glibc. Also, `format-time-string' is a primitive, so even if local is
available, you cannot change it locally easily.
A proper implementation would, IMO, not rely directly on
`format-time-string'. There could be a `org-format-time-string'
accepting the same arguments as `format-time-string' but replacing
locale related placeholders beforehand, according to a dictionary.
