You would mark the whole string for translation and, in the course of
translating it, the translators would replace "..." with «...» or „...“
or whatever. It's generally ill-advised (and very fragile) to mark only
a portion of a sentence for translation, since context is lost: for
example telling the initial and trailing quotes apart in this case.
Also, as word order varies between languages, translators have to have
the freedom to rearrange things at least at the sentence level (at the
paragraph level or greater when translating documentation).
If that doesn't answer your question, could you explain a bit more what
the problem is?
