Try the following find and replace all in regex mode:

Find:

\{(.*?)\}

Replace:

“$1”

Nothing magical here, though it should be noted that the regex pattern .*? uses a lazy dot. The ? tells the regex to stop upon hitting the first closing bracket. If we used .* instead, the regex would consume everything until the very last closing bracket.

Update:

The above find and replace should be working, but as an alternative pattern you could try:

\{([^}]*)\}
