It looks as if currently HarmonyOS is a hybrid Linux/Android with the main languages supported being JavaScript and TypeScript. I could be wrong but I think the only porting to do would just be English to Chinese... Similar to how Samsung OneUI is Android repacked.

In versions 4.2 and earlier of HarmonyOS, AOSP code was used to run. apk applications, but in the recently released 5.0/Next version, AOSP code was completely removed and a completely self-developed new kernel was used, which is no longer compatible with Android applications. Therefore, a new client is needed.
