Que as a conjunction (introducing that-clauses) always translates to أن. As a relative pronoun (which, who), it agrees in gender and number with its antecedent and requires forms like الذي, التي, الذين, اللاتي, etc. Que introducing comparisons becomes من. English learners often forget that Spanish que does not always require an equivalent article in the relative clause.
