Suggestion: Use "any" in English translations.

The word "any" can have a nuance of uncertainty.

"We opened our doors to those who wanted to come in."

--> We opened our doors to anyone who wanted to come in.

"People who booked in advance may go to this desk."

--> Anyone who has booked in advance may go to this desk.

It's not always appropriate, but could help sometimes.
