I'm not sure what it is called formally, but there are human translators in a backroom for every combination of languages required. The speakers talk into microphones and the translators listen on headphones, then speak the translation into microphones and the listeners hear the translations on headphones. Someone handles manually switching between translators as different speakers talk so that everyone hears everything translated into their language without gaps.
