Hi @xaverr26601882

What I see in my French InDesign version:

I am curious: why would you need other single quotes, knowing that they are very rarely used? In French, the only use I see for them is when you need to write the name of a variety of a plant…

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Which Adobe application are you using? We will be happy to move your post from Creative Cloud desktop to the proper forum for you. Each application has its own dictionary.

Try this from InDesign Help:

Use quotation marks

You can specify different quotation marks for different languages. These quotation mark characters appear automatically during typing if the Use Typographer’s Quotes option is selected in the Type section of the Preferences dialog box.

Specify which quotation marks to use

Choose Edit > Preferences > Dictionary (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > Dictionary (Mac OS).
Choose a language from the Language menu.
Do any of the following, and then click OK:
- For Double Quotes, select a pair of quotation marks, or type the pair of characters you want to use.
- For Single Quotes, select a pair of quotation marks, or type the pair of characters you want to use.
