In this patch, the quotation marks cannot be changed from double
quotes.

After a brief review of the use of quotation marks in various
languages, it's observed that French uses guillemets (« »), German
uses lower qutation marks („ “), Spanish uses angular quotation marks
(« ») or alternatively, lower quotetaion marks. Japanese commonly uses
corner brackets (「」), but can also adopt double or single quotation
marks in certain contexts. I took a look at the backend's fr.po file
for a trial, and it indeed seems that guillemets are being used.
