        Apart from the already suggested smart-quotes-mode, there’s this
        bit I personally use.  (See also bug#16082.)

(eval-after-load 'iso-transl
  '(iso-transl-define-keys
    '(("\"[" . [?“]) ("\"]" . [?”])
      ("'["  . [?‘]) ("']"  . [?’]))))

key             binding
―――             ―――――――
A-' [           ‘
A-' ]           ’
A-" [           “
A-" ]           ”
C-x 8 ' [       ‘
C-x 8 ' ]       ’
C-x 8 " [       “
C-x 8 " ]       ”
