This tutorial really helped me a lot. I have been searching for ages to create entirely different page template with unique stylesheet for some pages and finally achieved it. Thank you so much.
Before this article I tried but failed to include stylesheet path correctly in the new header file. now everything works pretty fine. I never knew before that it is this much easier to use customized templates in wordpress ofcourse intially struggled a bit. but once I get used to the navigation then its very easy.

Don't forget to add the code below on the very top of your new page template or else you won't see the template in that drop down menu when you add a new page!

/* Template Name: Your Template Name Here */ ?>

Can i use this same function to call the original css style sheet first, and then the secondary style sheet, since the secondary only includes mods to the first? Make sense?

AWESOME! I’m using your solution to customize a client’s categories … every other solution I tried was soooooo messy. This is simple and to the point.
I’m not savvy in php but will attempt to use this to include child-categories for a parent category.
Thanks again!

Nice.
One simplification:
instead of changing

with

You could simply call get_header with 'hebrew' as a string parameter:

and header-hebrew.php would be used instead of header.php.
