Yes, you can use a double quote in a macro argument (it is documented and has been there forever).
But it gives you the ASCII quote mark, not the typographical open and close quotes which are use in typesetting English (\[lq] and \[rq]). What special symbols you use would depend on the language, eg I believe guillemets are used in French. Hope this helps.
