`2C-mode' might be what you want. Be warned, though, that it might be
confusing when first using it, and that there might be missing
information since I have just begun to explore it because of your
message.
(Also, there doesn't seem to be much documentation on 2C at all, except
for in its source code?)
Two caveats:
1. Whenever you split using <F2> s (M-x 2C-split RET), the split will
happen at the current column, while *consuming* the previous char. You
can experiment with the command and see what I mean.
2. Currently, when you use <F2> 1 (M-x 2C-merge RET), the associated
buffer is only minimised at the right side. If a user wants to reuse
the same assoc buffer when typing <F2> s again, the user first has to
hide the buffer (at least in my experience).
What I tried:
In "bilingual.org", type the following:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Bilingual
Hello world.|!
Good night.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Here, "!" its not a character but means the cursor; "|" is the character
before point, and will be used as the separator for the buffers.
Then, run <F2> s (M-x 2C-split RET).
There should now be two buffers side-by-side. Go to the right buffer
and start typing.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Bienvenue tout le monde.
Bonne nuit.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Then (in either buffer) run <F2> 1 (M-x 2C-merge RET). Now the
remaining buffer should read:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Bilingual
Hello world. |Bienvenue tout le monde.
Good night. |Bonne nuit.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Hopefully this helps -- not only for you, but for those who, like me an
hour ago, accidentally discovered 2C-mode but did not understand how to
use it.

Best,
