Hello List

Quotation marks like "these" are converted to ``these'' by
org-export-latex. It would be much better to use \enquote{these}.

The \enquote tag belongs to the powerful csquotes package. Not only does
this package chose the correct quotation mark style for the document
language as defined by babel, it also supports nested quotations, e.g.:

He said: \enquote{This a \enquote{nonsense} sentence.}

would be rendered as:

He said: "This is a `nonsense' sentence."

Using \enquote as a default translation would make things much easier
for non-English users. Is there a way to configure that? Or at least to
let org-export-latex produce German quotation marks: "`xxx"' instead of
``xxx''?

Greetings,

Sven
