the documation says, that \quote gives a single quote.
Why do I get a double one for french?
\starttext
\language[nl]\quote{Nederlandse},
\language[en]\quote{English},
\language[de]\quote{Deutsch} oder
\language[fr]\quote{Fran\cc ais}.
\stoptext

The definitions are in lang-ita.tex, and they do indeed define double guillemet for both quotation and quote: \installlanguage [\s!fr] [\c!leftquote=\leftguillemot, \c!rightquote=\rightguillemot, \c!leftquotation=\leftguillemot, \c!rightquotation=\rightguillemot] This looks wrong to me, but it's something French users must discuss. As for the OP: you can set up any symbol you like, e.g. \setuplanguage[fr] [leftquote=\upperleftdoublesixquote, rightquote=\upperrightdoubleninequote, leftquotation=\leftguillemot, rightquotation=\rightguillemot] which is explained in chapter 7.3 of the manual. Btw, don't use something like \cc in mkiv, prefer proper Unicode characters.

IINM, \cc and similar control sequences in MkIV will just insert the proper Unicode character.
