According to address@hidden on 3/15/2008 10:33 PM:

You do realize that it is possible to create a custom LC_MESSAGES locale
which translates the strings "`" and "'" to your preferred quote strings?
~ For that matter, the address@hidden locale already does most of that - on
capable terminals, it uses nicer-looking quotes and bolds the output (and
since those quotes aren't active shell characters, copy-n-paste is less
likely to cause accidents), and on less capable terminals, the output is
transliterated to "\"" and "\"" rather than "`" and "'".

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
