If you have access to MS Word 2007 or later, have a look at how the epubTools addin for Word handles quoted text, see ==>>
Mobileread: s eBook Tools MS Word add-in
Sadly it has been "abandoned" since March 2018, but for me, it not only continues to work with the latest Office 365 - the dialogue checker actually works better — faster, and glitch free.
Unfortunately its author didn't publish the source (it's written in C++).
It supports several language dialogue mark variants (e.g. „...“ (German), « ... » (French), etc), it can deal with alternate quote marks within dialogue. It also handles multi paragraph quotes 'properly'.
It's the only tool I know of that gets dialogue checking even half right.
