Has anyone else noticed that DeepL (French/German to English at least) has recently started translating double quotation as single quotation marks, and vice versa? I've written to support to point it out, but it hasn't been fixed so far.

I wouldn’t worry about that. Just correct them during QA in one run.

but AmE and BE (and other languages) differ when it comes to single or double quotation marks. Maybe here it is by design.

Thanks for the comments,

Thanks, but as far as I'm aware, there is no stylistic reason to use single quotation marks instead of double in British Engish, and I can't find any sources for that. They should be the same as the source text, whether single or double, and whether US or British English.

Thanks, but that solution wouldn't work for various reasons, for example the closing single quotation marks are the same as apostrophe... See more Thanks for the comments,

Thanks, but that solution wouldn't work for various reasons, for example the closing single quotation marks are the same as apostrophes, so they would be changed as well. ▲ Collapse

Depending on the regex (or wildcard) features of your cat tool, word processor or editor, you can work around that.

Apologies Cilian, it seems that you're right, single quotation marks are standard in British English, though apparently double are also acceptable these day.
