Very surprised that there are no comments on this.
A meeting is not appointed. A meeting is set-up, put together, called, ....
If said to me, I would not understand the speaker's intent.
Thank you. I was just reading chemiazrit and sagitta145 exchange. (your second link)
I truly understand the frustration, but it is beta. I too have to sometimes walk away from the laptop and remind myself of that. Perhaps it is my IT background of test and retest during implementation before go-live that makes me more tolerant of this.
Yes, reporting is very important. I really hope that the contributors are reading them, as well as comments, evaluating and making warranted changes.
We just need to remember that while we are here to learn the language, we are to a certain extent "lab rats." :)
Since it was discussed there and there, what does it take for a Ukrainian course contributor to update the translation? Nobody "appoints" a meeting.

Is there a way both to report another acceptable translation (in American English, I would "set" a meeting) and to indicate that the accepted translation is improper (in American English, we only "appoint" officers).
You can translate it as "to schedule/make/arrange" and appointment as well.
