Hi, so what you want is to have two options for every language? One in old style and one utf8 style? Have you tried the csquotes package? Actually I think this is the way to go, as it adjust the quotation marks automatically to the current language. See http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/csquotes/ I use csquotes and, as active characters, I use ‘’. But I cannot configure a way to use these straightforwardly in Kile. (I was using a tag. In the new version, I'm trying a user menu thingie, but it doesn't work well with selected text as it doubles the selection.)
It would be nice to be able to have double quotes replaced by ‘’. I don't see why this would require options on a per language basis. You just let users define a pair or active quotes. (You might allow defining a pair for the alternate quotes csquotes supports, too.)
This makes for much more readable source then \enquot{}ing everything, but has all the linguistic- and context-sensitivity of the more cumbersome syntax.
Note that this is in pdfLaTeX. The issue is not specific to users of the new unicode engines. However, I would note that those engines can use the traditional TeX syntax, at least if they load fontenc, just by setting the compatibility option as most people do.

Version: 2.0.0 (using 3.5.7 "release 72.9" , openSUSE 10.3) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22.18-0.2-default if I use "\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}" it is not necessary anymore to code opening and closing doubleqotes with a command or an abbreviation of other kind like "' or "<. last ones just don't work anymore. and it would be enhancing for the scource-code not to have something like \glqq or \grqq everywhere. It would be satisfying if it would be possible to select the utf8-characters to be set by the opening and closing doubleqote-substitution. At least it could be a compromise to add an option to define ones own commands as opening and closing quotes. As for then one is able to include his characters in his own system characterset or some arrows, math or whatever he's in the mood to.
