English term or phrase: This appointment
Dear Portuguese Translators,

Note:
Portugal is the target market.

I am revising a document, I found: "Este evento"

English: This appointment

Port.: Este evento

I wonder if this is correct?
I just think that maybe: entrevista, compromiso, would be better.

Evento refers to: event, right?

How would you translate: "This appointment"?

Thanks!
Doris Fukuda
