Finnish term or phrase: kyllä se tästä lähtee, kunhan...
Kyllä se tästä lähtee, kunhan nämä laatukysymykset ja niiden hinnoittelu saadaan kohdalleen.

“Everything should be fine once we get these quality issues and pricing sorted out.”

neutral  Tarja Karjalainen: This is rather colloquial Aussie English, and might only work in Australian context, if the rest of the interview is in this register.

agree  Desmond O'Rourke: Yes, Neil, your own translation is excellent.

agree  Timo Lehtilä: This translation apparently is quite ok, although it does not convey all the info that is hidden in the hinting expression "kyllä se tästä lähtee" (everything depends on you, it's you who should correct the quality problems and compensate the losses)
