Yes this is correct - double quotes should be written ``some text'', not the
standard way we are all used to. Whilst it would be good for writers to do
this as they go it is easy to forget (guilty of this myself), so as the
chapters are edited this is one of the things anyone editing (and anyone
translating) will have to be aware of and correct where necessary.
