What I want:
I'd like to have German quotation marks in my TeX-PDF via rmarkdown and tinytex on MacOS (Catalina). See for example:
The problem:
It used to work following the guidelines as proposed here. But now, it stopped working. I only get English quotation marks, but not German ones:
What I tried, without success:
- I updated my R packages
- I updated TeX packages
- I checked that the TeX package "csquotes" is installed
- I changed the language from "de" to "de-De"
R-Code:
---
title: "German quotation marks"
output:
pdf_document:
keep_tex: yes
lang: de-DE
header-includes:
- \usepackage{csquotes}
---
"Das ist sehr schön", sagte sie.

EDIT
Based on the @RalfStubner's suggestion below, here's the minimal reproducible version of the TeX-File that was compiled by the code above:
\documentclass[
ngerman,
]{article}
\usepackage[shorthands=off,main=ngerman]{babel}
\title{German quotation marks}
\author{}
\date{\vspace{-2.5em}}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
``Das ist sehr schön'', sagte sie.
\end{document}
The code did compile - but the problem remained (no German quotes, only English quotes):
