AIUI there is no real locale section but you can have your individual 
locale which you configure somewhere with systemsettings and you can 
have the default C locale (which is English). So "%OTIMELONGEN" is with 
C locale and "%OTIMELONG" is the individual locale which is e.g. German 
for me. So here I have no difference in the time format but the date is 
different. For "%DATEEN" I get "Thu, 8. 05.2014" and for "%DATE" I get 
"Do, 8. 05.2014".

That's strange - I got a short help even from the Kubuntu-10.04 CD. I 
can't tell you what is missing on your system to get that text back.

The "O" refers to the original message. Without the "O" it refers to the 
currently composed message. But I think you should simply use the 
"Insert Command" selection button and not worry about the way the 
commands are written.
