Defining curly apostrophes (quotes) as default for all projects (=not only in the Editor)

We would like to haben the apostrophes always written the same way, that is the curly ones, not the straight ones.

It would be great having the possibility to select these curly apostrophes as the basic feature for all Trados projects.

And also: including for texts coming from our Deepl add-in.

    When you said "not only in the Editor", where else do you require this to happen?

    Here's where you set your smart quotes (i.e. curly quotes):

    Screenshot of Trados Studio Options dialog showing the AutoCorrect settings for English (United States) with 'Replace straight quotes with smart quotes' option checked.

    Click through: File > Options > Editor > AutoCorrect

    Choose your target language in the dropdown menu at the top, then tick "Replace 'straight quotes' with smart quotes".

    Apologies if you already know this and that was what you meant by "not only in the Editor".

    Unfortunately, I don't think it is possible to change the punctuation settings of DeepL.  It would be quite quick to run a find & replace for " or ' on the whole document...

    Have you asked DeepL Support about this?

    All the best,
