I encounter the data including Chinese and English names in one column, which I want to split to different column, but the length in each line for the Chinese and English is not the same.

You can use RegEx Tool with the configuration below;

 

Regular Expression: ([a-zA-Z0-9_\s,]+)\s([^a-zA-Z0-9_\s,].*)

Output Method: Parse

 

Then you will get the output as below:

NameName1Name2
Wei, Quan Quan 韦, 泉全Wei, Quan Quan韦, 泉全
Wei, Ting 韦, 婷Wei, Ting韦, 婷
Xue, Hui Jing 薛, 惠菁Xue, Hui Jing薛, 惠菁
Zhang, An Qi 张, 安芪Zhang, An Qi张, 安芪
Zhang, Min 张, 敏Zhang, Min张, 敏
