I have an SWT application which is quite complex at the moment. And I want to make the app able to switch interface languages without restarting. What is the best way to do it?

The Control API (which is the superclass for all SWT components) has a method redraw(), which, I assume, calls the create contents method again and should provide the result you are looking for.
EDIT: I just tested this by making a button and setting its text to a random number after each push, and it works without any aesthetic side-effects.
