And the data that GTTK gathers from its use in Wikipedia translations? What would need to happen for that to start coming back, in a usable form?
The translated segments are available to all translators in Translator Toolkit. When other volunteers use Translator Toolkit to translate other Wikipedia articles, the segments will be available to them.
If GTTK goes away next year, will the data gathered from these translations go away also?
I had thought the translation memory from Wikipedia translations was freely available for reuse (at least in principle). However, this isn't yet the case. As I understand it, Wikipedia translations are bundled together with all other public submissions to Google's global public translation memory, which produces the default translations you see online. This TM is not currently available for query, export or download.
As I vaguely recall from someone posting study results on the question, not all interwiki links are good, but ones that are a 1:1 match generally seem to be.
That is my impression as well.
