No, you can still hear the original feed while the translator speaks over it. I am perfectly bilingual (English household living in a city where 98% of the population is French) so I can tell that the politicians are repeating their speech word for word in each language yet the translator translates what they know was just said or will be said. Sometimes the translation is a little different despite the fact that the politician just said it himself seconds ago in the same language. It's silly. EDIT. Your use of "annoying" is very à propos.
