The security model of Ubuntu, and that of Android, do not mesh at all. Sailfish is not Ubuntu, and to compare the two in this regard of running Android apps, is to completely ignore all of the work that has gone into Ubuntu for security. A general purpose solution for running Android apps would defeat the security work that has been put into Ubuntu, and open up your Ubuntu phone to all the same malware and other problems that Android has. However, anyone is more than welcome to attempt to create a package which contains one of these translation engines, and their favorite .apk, and side-load it onto their phone, and attempt to use it. You won't get Android push notifications. You won't get contacts or calendar integration. You will get an Android App running on your Ubuntu phone. If you want full system integration, then the best way for that to happen, is to have a port of the app.
