Hello,
When exporting a document to LaTeX with smart quotes enabled, I found
that this had been ignored (e.g. "hello" vs ``hello'' in the output). I
had the document language set to en-gb, which it seems disables smart
quotes, as there is no corresponding entry in org-export-smart-quotes
alist. This is inconsistent with org-latex-language-alist, which
correctly handles the en-gb case for babel and polyglossia.
I did find some old discussion on the ML about how the algorithm may
have to be adjusted to accommodate “British style” quoting (single outer
and double inner quotes) but failing a consensus on that (I am British
but personally do not use that style), I think it at least makes sense
to replicate the en(-us) behaviour.
As far as I can tell, this applies to en-au and en-nz too.
