 When {{{WPLANG}}} is set to use certain non-English languages single
 quotes are converted to double quotes when displayed via
 {{{the_content()}}}. I think that the issue may have been introduced with
 [19795], but I am not certain about this. Here are steps to reproduce:

 * Export the Swedish .mo file from
 [http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/sv/default GlotPress] and
 save it to wp-content/languages as sv_FI.mo.
 * Set {{{define ('WPLANG', 'sv_FI' );}}} in wp-config.php.
 * Create a new post using the content from the attached test data (quotes-
 test-data.txt).
 * Publish the post and view in the the theme.

 At this point you should notice that many of the single quotes have been
 converted to double.

 I've only observed this when WordPress uses the Swedish .mo files. I have
 not tested in any other non-English languages. English does not appear to
 be affected.
