We're excited to announce the release of Revel Digital platform version 1.9.4.0, bringing enhanced functionality, improved user experience, and powerful new features to help you maximize your digital signage deployment's potential.
What's New in Version 1.9.4.0
Expanded Localization: Three New Languages Added
Building on our existing multi-language support, version 1.9.4.0 introduces three exciting new language options, significantly expanding Revel Digital's global accessibility:
New Language Support Added:
- Português (Portuguese) - Complete localization for Brazilian and European Portuguese markets
- Français (French) - Full French language interface for our francophone users
- Deutsch (German) - Comprehensive German localization for the DACH region
Existing Language Support:

The new language options are seamlessly integrated into the platform interface, allowing users to easily switch between languages based on their preferences or regional requirements.
Automated Task Scheduling: Streamline Your Digital Signage Operations
Version 1.9.4.0 introduces a new Scheduled Tasks feature that enhances how you manage your digital signage network. This automation capability allows you to schedule various operations to run at predetermined intervals, reducing manual administrative work.

This feature is particularly beneficial for teams managing multiple locations or complex scheduling requirements, as it reduces the learning curve for new users and enables efficient network management through AI assistance.
