See the attached topic file (q-bug-in-pdf.dita).
The various sections of the attached topic file is set to xml:lang="fr",
"en", "de", "nb", "nn" and "no".
The trouble is with "nb", "nn" and "no".
* First the issue with "no": Here the issue is that PDF-conversion (and
XMLmind) uses “upper quotes” instead of «typographical quotes». For "nn"
and "nb" this is not an issue. Perhaps you need to make sure that "no"
is aligned with "nn" and "nb".
* Second, the issue with "nn" and "nb". Here the issue is that, as can
be seen in the attached PDF, *after* the </q>, there is a wide gap of
white-space. Worse (although it is not visible in this particular PDF),
it can happen - as it recently happened to me - that, when ditac wants
to insert a line-break just after the <q>, the dot can be placed on the
next line (instead of being kept together with the quotation mark), like
so:
«this is a quotation»
.
* The last example of the document shows the output that I expect for
both "nn", "nb" and "no".
At the moment, I am very reluctant to use <q> at all, due to this issue.

After thinking it over, the "nb" and "nn" issue probably a bug in the L10N
files for ditac - which I myself have translated.
I suppose the following:
<message name="openQuote"> «</message>
<message name="closeQuote">» </message>
should be changed to the following:
<message name="openQuote">«</message>
<message name="closeQuote">»</message>
Done.
When it comes to the "no" issue, then this is probably simply because there is no no.xml file for
ditac ... And since "no" simply means "Norwegian", without being specific about Norwegian
Nynorsk or Norwegian Bokmål, there isn’t really a - eh - neutral way to way to create a 'no.xml' file. Even
Common Locale Data Repository seem - according to my quick search - to ignore 'no', and simply recommend 'nb'
and 'nn'. See http://cldr.unicode.org/
OK.
I must think about this ...
