Set widget language independently on Mac?

can I change the language of certain widgets without changing all the language settings on my Mac or really any apple device? I am learning Japanese and I would like to have my Tokyo clock in kanji rather than a romanized format without everything being in Japanese as I am nowhere near fluent enough for that. If not that might be a very nice feature in the future for those who are multi lingual.

If you go to system settings > general > language & region and scroll down to the bottom, you can change the language of any app independently, including the Clock app, if that helps.
