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.

That is my impression as well.
