But perhaps it should not be. Consider org-export-smart-quotes-alist.
In Danish, according to the 'official' guidance, all of the following
are appropriate
(*) ,,.'', ``.'', `.', >>.<<, >.<.
Basically, only the french <<.>> is not appropriate. A similar
situation exists in Norwegian, to the best of my knowledge. Why
should I (submitting a patch) be able to actively force which of forms
in (*) should be used?
One remedy /in LaTeX/ would be to let quote-characters be selected by
csquote, but I don't really know if I'd want to go that way. . .
Alternatively, we can populate the various language variables and
provide easy means to alter them, a la:
(org-alter-language "da" :left-latex "``" :right-latex "''" :table "tabel").
