To be on the right track.
Everything is starting to go on the right track. All is starting to progress well. Everything is progressing well now. Everything is going back on the rails now. I'd go with the one I made bold + italics, but the other are options too.

The usage of 'rails' seems more British to me.
We would use 'back on (the right) track'. Everything is getting back on (the right) track. Everything is getting back on schedule.

If you are truly talking about something new or just starting:
"Everything is on track." "Everything is lining up (just right). " Getting "back on track" would insinuate that things were not going well before. "Everything is back on track."

I think is good to have all these options with their nuances. The original Spanish (the title of the thread) carries with it a bit of the insinuation that things were not going well before, or at least things were not at an optimum level.
