Hi Thomas,

I think this is how ConTeXt configures the default values for different
languages.

US English is the default
(https://github.com/contextgarden/context/blob/25db3a7c9d8720471ac3740cba828d73f87365ff/tex/context/base/mkxl/lang-def.mkxl#L24).

British English has the opposite values of US English
(https://github.com/contextgarden/context/blob/25db3a7c9d8720471ac3740cba828d73f87365ff/tex/context/base/mkxl/lang-def.mkxl#L24)
for both the \quote and the \quotation commands.

Because of issues similar to this one, I always type quotes in their
final character.

I hope it helps,

Pablo
