\installlanguage [nl] [leftquote=\upperleftsinglesixquote, rightquote=\upperrightsingleninequote, leftquotation=\upperleftdoublesixquote, rightquotation=\upperrightdoubleninequote, ] We also use two variants of quotation marks. I thought that having a single option to switch between the two variants would be handy (and easy to implement), but I don't know how to call it. If I need the other variant of quotation marks I use the definition above. > 2. is this a case for changing ConTeXt's default for Dutch? I doubt. There were too many texts written already and I guess that people would get confused if the quotation marks would be changed at once.
