Composer uses by default English quotation marks (" ")
It could be great if we could choose the appropriate quotation marks, in our case the French quotation marks (« ») that are usually used in the French medias.

Hi all, this seems to be part of Composer 1.48.10 release currently in sandbox
Same issue in there at Liberation. Critical for production.
Hi @Lawrence. I see that quotation marks have been changed to stick to German language in june (https://leparisien.arcpublishing.com/alc/arc-products/ellipsis/releasenotes/composer-147-release-notes/) That's exactly what we are asking for in French, so that Composer could automatically convert English quotation marks (“example”), to French (« »).
Thank you for your answer Lawrence ! I had noticed the special character tool but I was thinking more of a specific (and regionalized?) configuration that allows easy typing and doesn't force the user to integrate each quotes by clicking.
Hi Marion! Thank you for the idea submission. There is currently a way to insert French quotation marks (« »)French quotation marks (« »), via the "insert special character" tool. You can find that in the toolbar or using shortcut:
cmd + k for macOS
ctrl + k for Windows

Please let me know if that meets your needs. Thanks!
