I'm using the style verbose-ibid. My bibliography contains German, English and French articles. In the first appearance (fullcite) article names are in quotation marks according to their language. But in the second appearance (shortcite) they all come with the same quotation marks. I think in verbose-ibid.cbx it is 

\newbibmacro*{cite:short}{%
\printnames{labelname}%
\setunit*{\nametitledelim}%
\printtext[bibhyperlink]{%
  \printfield[citetitle]{labeltitle}}}

and in biblatex.def it is

\DeclareFieldFormat
[article,inbook,incollection,inproceedings,patent,thesis,unpublished]
{citetitle}{\mkbibquote{#1\isdot}}

who are responsible but I'm by far not an expert. How can I change it to somehow use foreignquote instead of \mkbibquote?

    Welcome. It would really help to have a small, compilable document showing the problem. Much easier for people to work on a solution which might actually help. – cfr Jun 24 '15 at 19:45

    Welcome. Yes please show us a MWE that actually exhibits the problem. Does language=auto (instead of the default language=autobib) as loading-time option help? The problem should not lie with \mkbibquote which as far as I know is language-sensitive, but with the fact that biblatex does not switch the languages in citations while it does in the bibliography (by default) and so also in a fullcite because a fullcite is essentially just a call to the bib-driver. – moewe Jun 24 '15 at 20:06
  • <code>langauge=auto</code> solves the problem. Thanks a lot!! – Phlorian Jun 24 '15 at 21:14

To also make the citations use the environment specified via the autolang option, set 

language=auto

The default value for this option is autobib which means that only in the bibliography language switching is enabled.
