Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 22271
Smart quotes substitution should depend on language
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:00:48 UTC
I wish I could set the autocorrect options regarding quotes separately for different languages. I do my writing in English and Polish, and the conventions in those two languages are different.

As far as I'm concerned OOo 2.x has this feature, i.e. the definition smart quotes is part of the locale xml file.
No. OOo2.1 doesn't have this feature. Please try this settings (as described in issue 33694). Set the document language to German and the custom quotes to »...«. Define a paragraph style with language English, assign it to the paragraph before writing, then write your quotations. You will get »...« for English too, but it should be “...”, which works fine with standard typographical quotes.
