[OS X Emacs] German quotes in Aquamacs 2.4

Hello,

as my Carbon Emacs is sadly getting more and more out of date, I am
testing Aquamacs 2.4 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. Localisation is German. To make
i clear, I do not like it that Aquamacs attempts to provide an Apple
user interface as I prefer to have the same interface on all platforms I
use Emacs on.

I use Emacs for writing Mediawiki and Wordpress posts offline. This is
why I also need to to insert German quotes „“ in my plain text files,
saving them in utf-8 encoding.

So, I have set Options | Language | Set language environment | European
to German and saved options by Options | Save options.

With a German keyboard layout, German quotes are input as shown above by
typing option-^ and option-2. In Aquamacs, though, only left German
quotes work, as option-2 is used otherwise.

Is there a way to have option-2 work for right German quotes as usual in
Aquamacs?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Jürgen.
