I would think that would be a matter to be taken up with the translation
people.  If a particular set of translated messages is using quote
characters that don't exist in every encoding commonly used with that
language, then it's arguable that the translator made a poor choice
of quote characters.  (Likewise for any other special characters of
course.)
