If you use early returns the data is not even instantiated. Otherwise it all depends on how you programmed if you just build big table of all localization and never throw it away - it will stay in memory because, well, you put it here and didn't dispose it. Just don't do that.
There also source text and outer function bytecode itself - only Blizzard can tell if those are retained in memory after processing or not.
