In German we need to have a word in the main phrase that the Relative Pronoun can refer to. This can be done here in two ways

-> You may bring whoever wants to come.

• Du kannst JEDEN mitbringen, DER kommen möchte.
• Du kannst ALLE mitbringen, DIE kommen möchten

essentially either in a singular-ish way

You may bring ANY PERSON who wants to come. (-> wants)

or in a plural-ish style

• You may bring ALL PERSONS who want to come. (-> want)

As one can see, the correct English translation (already being singular-ish) covers both German translation perfectly and would sound odd if expressed differently.

Is there a difference to be made in French or can we safely use the already singular-ish being version of French for both german translations?
