Total conversion mods like Stainless Steel, Broken Crescent, Call of Warhammer, and Tsardoms are almost always built on English Medieval II + Kingdoms. If you try to run them with a Polish, French, or Spanish base game, you will experience:
Pro tip: Always install the English Localized Pack before installing any major mod. After installing the mod, re-apply the hotfix to the mod’s own data/text/ subfolder.
Medieval II: Total War is nearly 20 years old, yet it has a larger active modding community than Total War: Pharaoh. Every month, 30,000+ players download mods like The Last Kingdom or Tsardoms Total War. A huge percentage of those players—perhaps you—accidentally overwrite their English files with the mod's foreign language source.
Searching for "medieval ii total war english localized pack hot" is the digital equivalent of a battlefield medic shouting for sutures. It is urgent, specific, and life-saving for your campaign. Without it, you face an unreadable civil war. With it, you return to conquering Europe in proper English.
The “packl hot” suffix is almost certainly a typo for “pack hot” or “pack hotfix”. In modding circles, “hot” often refers to a hotfix — a small, rapid update to address critical bugs. For example:
Thus, the user likely wants the latest hotfix for the English Localized Pack, not an unofficial “hot” file.
If you are staring at a menu in a language you cannot read, this "English Localized Pack" is a 5/5 essential utility. It solves the problem instantly.
However, if you are looking for new gameplay experiences, this is not what you want. For gameplay mods, you should look into Stainless Steel, Third Age: Total War, or Europa Barbarorum instead.
Recommendation: Download it only if your game is currently in the wrong language. Scan the file for viruses before installing (standard safety for any downloaded game file).
It looks like you’re trying to share or ask about the "Medieval II: Total War English Localized Pack" — possibly a mod, language pack, or patch (the "hot" might be a typo for "hotfix" or just emphasis).

PSVita DB Theme Installer 360,
one of the most frequent questions I read around on forums and social networks was:
"Where can I download custom themes for my PSVita?" medieval ii total war english localized packl hot
Of course there were already threads or posts collecting custom themes in various sites, but often they were messed up because of people comments,
many preview images of different size and type, download links from many different file hosting services, etc... Hence the idea of creating a
repository that was simple, fast, mobile friendly, but still complete and free, where all users could find and
download custom themes for their console in few seconds. And so here is the PSVita Custom Themes - Free Repository!
In this repository you will find custom themes created by amateur users, collected from around the web and then tested, arranged and reuploaded on
Google Drive so that they can be ready to download and use. Obviously it was impossible to retrieve any existing custom theme on the web and many of
those found had no more valid download link. However this repository includes a public feature to submit a custom theme to be added, so whether you
are the creator of a new custom theme or you have just found one around the web that is not currently included in the repository, you can easily
submit it so that it could be added soon. Total conversion mods like Stainless Steel , Broken

Or, if it's not something extremely private, you can also leave a comment below:
If your PSVita has a firmware compatible with Henkaku, Enso or h-encore hacks (so from 3.60 to 3.68) you can use one of the following tools to fully manage custom themes:
Otherwise if your PSVita has a firmware that is not hackable or any official firmware, to install any custom theme you can only use the "injection" in system backups procedure. Unfortunately it's a much longer and more complex procedure, but it's the only possibility that exists for now. You can find a detailed tutorial for this procedure on HackInformer.com. About the uninstallation in this case, you can use the same procedure (deleting them manually from the system backup folders and the PSVita database file) or just a more drastic (but faster) procedure such as restoring the PSVita database from the recovery mode and formatting the Memory Card.
Final note: whatever procedure you choose to install the custom themes, please remember that the installation procedure will not automatically apply the custom theme on your PSVita. You have to manually change the current theme of your PSVita using the Settings app. If you don't know how to do it, you can find a step-by-step guide just below:
In your PSVita livearea search for the Settings bubble and launch it:

Scroll down and choose the "Theme & Background" option:

Now choose the "Theme" option:

And now you can select one of the (official and custom) themes currently installed in your PSVita:
