I am unlinking "Sie leben jetzt seit zehn Jahren in London" and "They have lived in London for ten years", because the tenses do not match (this is a statement of the future).

The Japanese matches the English tense, meaning that they have been living in London for 10 years, not that they will be living in London for 10 years.

Just for clarity: the Spanish means something like "they will have been living ten years in London" (the anniversary may be coming up in the near future).
