I'm translating a few lines with Notepad++, but I'd like to know how to split the text, creating 2 columns in total. That's because, sometimes, I need to replace all the specified words, so I'd replace all the words from a specific column.
Sorry, but is that understandable? Here's a picture of my current structure (the black comma is the 'separator'):
I don't fully understand why you want it in columns, but I think the only way to do it in N++ is to insert tabs. The problem is to figure out how many tabs are required to get the formatting for all lines correct.
You can try to open the Search and replace dialog, select "Extended" and replace " , " with "\t\t\t\t, " (\t represents a tab character, but I'm not sure if 4 tabs is the right number).
Might be better to just import the file as CSV into Excel, LibreOffice or Gnumeric.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

There is a plugin (TextFX) which can do this: http://www.cathrinewilhelmsen.net/2014/10/15/edit-columns-in-notepad-with-textfx-plugin/
I think that's it! Thank you so much for the help!
