In latex when we want to add quotes like e.g. "Hello", the left quotes are rendered as right quotes.
The proper way to use quotes is NOT to use double quotes key.
In print, opening and closing double quotes are different; in TeX left quotes are coded as `` (on my keyboard this is on the left-most key on the upper row below ~). Right quotes are given by the two symbols '' (which is on the key below the single symbol " which is NOT used). Thus we have ``quote, unquote''. The same goes for single quotes, or `quote, unquote'.
