Since you want to change contents, and not only markup, this isn't the
correct place.
You can either add a filter in `org-export-filter-timestamp-functions',
or implement your own function to handle timestamp objects. If you
choose the latter, you can install the function in
`org-e-latex-translate-alist' to overwrite current latex exporter
behaviour, or use `org-export-define-derived-backend' to implement your
own back-end.
Assuming you want to overwrite current behaviour, something along the
lines of the following (untested) should do the work:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun my-e-latex-timestamp (timestamp contents info)
(let ((value (org-translate-time (org-element-property :value timestamp))))
(setq value
(replace-regexp-in-string
org-ts-regexp1
(lambda (text)
(concat (save-match-data (org-trim (match-string 5 value))) ", "
(substring text 0 (1- (match-beginning 5)))
(substring text (match-end 5))))
value))
(case (org-element-property :type timestamp)
((active active-range) (format org-e-latex-active-timestamp-format value))
((inactive inactive-range)
(format org-e-latex-inactive-timestamp-format value))
(otherwise (format org-e-latex-diary-timestamp-format value)))))
(add-to-list 'org-e-latex-translate-alist 'my-e-latex-timestamp)
#+end_src

That seems reasonable. Is there any translation table between language
symbols and Babel options?

I won't bother doing this, but export engine internals probably permit
it.
