I understand it might have been deliberately and for various reasons, but
ConTeXt has no analogue for {``} and {''} for quotes. \quotation is a
replacement, but it is awkward if you write a draft in ConTeXt and make the
final variant in pdfLatex. Is there a ready solution for the quotation
marks as marked out in the text? Or one needs to write his own macro for
this?

Write a macro in pdfLatex.
(You can always use utf-8:
“”
« »
„“
etc. as appropriate)

Quotes are rather language dependent so therefore we use \quotation.
As Alan says, you can always define a macro for latex:
\def\quotation#1{``#1''}
doing that for context is not a good idea. (Also because future versions
might issue an error when such core macros are redefined.)

Hi all,
I think in the same way as Dmitry.
It might be obsolete but, as far as I searched, under the setup
\definefontfeature [texligatures] [tlig=yes]
\feature[+][texligatures]
{''} produces right quotation correctly but left quotation seems
not correct (I don't know why).
It is true quotes are language dependent but sometime we need
language independent quotes. So it will be nice if we can use
{``}, {''} and \quotation at the same time.
Best regards,
Atsuhito Kohda

indeed. `` and '' are (in tex) pseudo ligatures and not really a
portable standard, certainly not now that we have utf8 as input (in a
similar fashion users who need accented characters will not use \"u and
\'a any more)

Another option: Use the fabulous csquotes-package and map \quotation to
\enquote:
=>
```
\usepackage{csquotes}
\let\quotation=\enquote
```

In fact, I don't know how to input left, right double quotation
marks and accented characters directly with keyboard.
It is easier for me to input {``}, {''} and \"u etc than
to input utf8 characters with keyboard.
I don't say to make tex-style ligature available by default
but only to make it available under an appropriate setup.
Even this is not suitable for ConTeXt?
Best regards,
Atsuhito Kohda

You're wrong here because ' is replaced with a apostrophe and what
you see are just two and the have a different space between then than
a normal double quotation mark.
%%%% begin example
\starttext
\switchtobodyfont[100pt]
“
”
’
''
\stoptext
%%%% end example
