future proof is fine in English
Patricia Nilsson (asker) Jul 1, 2011:
Lots of examples of it in Swedish. Trendy word. Didn't ck native language future proof. Were they for software?
George Hopkins Jul 1, 2011:

And how can anything be proofed against the future?
Is it possibly a question of sustainability?

Well "future-proofed" was my first thought too; I don't think of it as Swenglish, and Google has plenty of native English uses of it, so I would use that, I think.
