Thank you.
I tried this (included in my header) and I get the result I want visually in the PDF:
```
\setuplanguage[en-gb][
leftquotation=“,
rightquotation=”,
leftquote=‘,
rightquote=’,
]
```

As you saw in the ConTeXt outputs, whatever language you set in the metadata, Pandoc will always identify double quotes as primary quotes and single quotes as secondary quotes. How they are rendered in PDF depends on ConTeXt. To alter the rendering of British English, you will need to use the macro \setuplanguage (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuplanguage).
