Different languages use different standard quotation marks. You have to customize the system for appropriate quotation marks.

Defining system-wide custom quotation marks

For some languages different than English, you may need to define system-wide custom quotation marks. To do it, open the EditorialConfig, and locate the <Dict> node.

Within that node,

<Item Name="glbDLQuote" Value="yourchrcode" /> 

<Item Name="glbDRQuote" Value="yourchrcode" />

For single quotation marks add new lines with:

<Item Name="glbSLQuote" Value="yourchrcode" /> 

<Item Name="glbSRQuote" Value="yourchrcode" />

where yourchrcode is a CHR-code value from the previous table.

Defining typography-level custom quotation marks

In some multi-language publications, you may need to define typography-level custom quotation marks. To do it, open the EditorialConfig, and locate the <Dict> node.

Within that node, add new lines with:

<Item Name="typographyid_glbDLQuote" Value="yourchrcode" /> 

<Item Name="typographyid_glbDRQuote" Value="yourchrcode" />

<Item Name="typographyid_glbSLQuote" Value="yourchrcode" /> 

<Item Name="typographyid_glbSRQuote" Value="yourchrcode" />

where typographyid is the id of the typography and yourchrcode is a CHR-code value from the previous table.
