"One must" sounds (to my American ear) like it's British English. Here we'd say "you have to". Is that an acceptable way to think of "hay que"?

Hola Ruthann

Yes that would also be an acceptable translation, as long as you don't consider that "you" as a literal you, but as a general "you".

Gracias y saludos
