Re: i18n-ISSUE-391: Quotation Marks are Different in Other Languages

FWIW, some work has been done in CLDR on collecting the data about
quotation marks for different languages:
http://cldr.unicode.org/development/development-process/design-proposals/delimiter-quotation-mark-proposal

This data is integrated in data files for each language and can be found
under <delimiters> section; e.g.
http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/browser/trunk/common/main/fr.xml#L1434

Best regards,
