Problem with Quotation Marks

Hello,

I have two (probably interrelated) questions concerning quotation marks. I'm using Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition (full note).

1) I would like to modify the style in a way that it uses the British system of quotation marks, i.e. single ' instead of " and, for quotations inside quotations, " instead of '. How can I edit the style accordingly?

2) I use many quotations with transliterations from Arabic, which include vowel markings. Zotero unfortunately transforms ' into ", for example:

Mudhakirāt Aš-Šheikh ‘Abdullāh Bin Ḥusseīn Al-Aḥmar: Qaḍāīyā Wa-Muwāqif (Memoirs of Sheikh ‘Abdullāh Bin Ḥusseīn Al-Aḥmar: Issues and Propositions), 2nd ed. (Ṣan“ā:” Dār Al-Kutub Al-Yamanīya, 2008).

whereas the original entry in the Zotero database for the place name reads: Ṣan‘ā’ (single quotes)

How can I fix this issue?

Your help is very much appreciated!
