Bug Description
„ (U+201E DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK) is often used in German as an open quotation mark, with “ as the closing mark (English-style quotes are used too, as well as guillemets, but these are traditional). You can set things like OOo to use this style instead of ", but plain text things have no way to enter it.
I'd suggest (depending on input from people who actually type German regularly) assigning the German "pretty quotes" to AltGr-V and AltGr-B („ and “ respectively).

I can confirm here with locale de_DE.utf-8 installed. The lower quote should be put on the key Alt Gr + V.
