All I understand about RTL is that some languages are written right-to-left.

In a WordPress theme, what role does the rtl.css stylesheet have? I was under the impression that the only difference was paragraph alignment, but the WordPress themes that I have seen have massive rtl.css files.

What other requirements are there of CSS to provide true RTL support?

rtl.css is copy of main template css file used for rtl supported themes. This is almost exact copy of regular style with changes concerning css properties such as direction, text-align, floats and sometimes image placement. – eugeneK Jun 15 '11 at 14:49

This guy explains it fairly well for wordpress (video, no transcript): Yoav Farhi: Right to Left WordPress.

The Wordpress Manual (Codex) has as well some information regarding Right to Left Language Support.
