Documentation
Smart quotes translations.
Alist whose CAR is a language string and CDR is an alist with quote type as key and a plist associating various encodings to their translation as value.
A quote type can be any symbol among primary-opening,
primary-closing, secondary-opening, secondary-closing and
apostrophe.
Valid encodings include :utf-8, :html, :latex and
:texinfo.
If no translation is found, the quote character is left as-is.
This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Org version
9.7.
