There is a comprehensive discussion of quotation styles in german on 
this webpage, which is a default place to point people to in the german 
speaking area:

I don't know, if any automatic translation is able to transport the 
content good enough to any other language. Anyway, the author comes to 
the conclusion, that shortened inline quotes is the most reasonable and 
easy to use one for the reader. That is exactly the style, that has 
always been standard on the boost mailing lists as well as on many 
others.
