PPS: as suggested... this could be an ELisp recipe to automate this
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs_lisp
(defun my-latex-filter-verb (text backend info)
"Export verbatim quoted for LaTeX à la texfinfo.
Make regex \"``\\1''\\2\" for double quotes."
(when (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex)
(replace-regexp-in-string "^\\(.*\\S-\\)\\(\\s-*\\)$" "`\\1'\\2" text)))
(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-verbatim-functions
'my-latex-filter-verb)
#+END_SRC
Best, /PA
