Just like how in Dutch the second quotation mark is supposed to be on the bottom. But I don't even know how to do that on the computer.
Also in German. Word autocorrects that for example.
The opening quotation marks should be on the bottom, but it's been a while since I wrote them that way. Luckily, the wiki page (in Dutch) shows how they can be entered in three common OSes (see: unicode), so I'll try my best to revive the correct usage again.
Also, I don't think it is considered incorrect to use top quotation marks on a computer any longer.
In Slavic languages too
