Description: According to both the German (*) and English (†) Wikipedia articles, the quotation marks used in the Ukrainian language are like the French one (but without the space), so like this: «word». But LibreOffice's automatic quotation mark placement system places English-style quotation marks like “”. This has actually been asked on AskLibreoffice (‡) about seven years ago, but the user who solved the problem just explained how to change the default setting for the replacement, and further states that "it is not possible to set a second (or even third if needed - according to typographic rules in my country) level of quotation marks in Autocorrect", although (afaik) LibreOffice replaces " with the respective primary and ' with the respective secondary quotation marks, so while tertiary marks aren't possible, secondary ones are. P.S.: I know that Wikipedia can be wrong, but the AskLibreoffice question stated the exact same facts, and I also know that the Russian language (which at least has similarities to Ukrianian) also uses the «» type marks (which are btw correctly replaced by LO). I also tested the replacement in Word Online, it seems to have the wrong way of replacing them as well. ------ Links: *: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anf%C3%BChrungszeichen#Andere_Sprachen (scroll down the grid until you reach "Ukrainisch") †: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Belarusian,_Russian,_and_Ukrainian ‡: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/quote-marks-autocorrect-for-ukrainian/19573 Steps to Reproduce: 1.
