Abstract: Traditional linguistic security governance lacks connectivity and predictability， and is incongruous with the development trend of the times. Therefore，it is essential to achieve the digital transformation of language security governance on the basis of observing and analyzing a mass of language security data and information and delving into the depths of the nature of language security problems. The principles that the digital transformation of language security should follow include the principle of master plan，the principle of accurate positioning，the dynamic principle，and the principle of sustainability. The basic paths for the digital transformation of language security governance include data information empowerment，digital technology empowerment，and environmental empowerment. To cope with the potential risks in the digital transformation of linguistic security governance，relevant solutions should be taken： the study on language security application theories should be deepened to avoid the formalization and over interpretation of data；staff’s data literacy and processing capacity should be improved to consolidate the leading role of mankind in the digital governance of language security；and the join-point of digital governance and traditional governance should be sought out to avoid severely disrupting the ecological balance of language security governance.
