Describe the bug
I'm told by an Arabic translator that on our Arabic language site on amnesty.org, the quotation marks face the wrong direction.

At the beginning of a quote, they appear as 66, which in Arabic would be a closing quotation mark. And similarly at the end of a quote they appear as 99, which in Arabic would be an opening quotation mark.

e.g.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to a news post and search "
  2. See the quotation marks facing the wrong way.

Expected behaviour
The quote should start with opening quotation marks and end with closing quotation marks.

Actual behaviour
They are switched.

Platform:

Additional context
I've had a look on other websites eg.

BBC

alarabiya.net

al jazeera

these ones all have straight quotation marks not curly ones so it's not an issue.
