React i18next useTranslation Hook in helper method

I fixed my issue by not using the useTranslation hook anymore

Instead I moved the i18n initalizitation to a file (i18n.tsx - exports i18n) and import and use it in my Utils class

My Utils.tsx file no looks like this Utils.tsx

...
import i18n from '../i18n';
...
export function helperFunction(props: any){
   //do stuff

   //use imported i18n and call the t() method
   i18n.t("needTranslation");
}

i18n.tsx

import i18n from "i18next";
import Backend from 'i18next-xhr-backend';
import { initReactI18next } from 'react-i18next';

i18n
  .use(Backend) 
  .use(initReactI18next) // passes i18n down to react-i18next
  .init({
    lng: "es",
    fallbackLng: 'en',
    backend: {
      loadPath: '/static/locales/{{lng}}/{{ns}}.json'
    },    
    interpolation: {
      escapeValue: false
    }
  });

  export default i18n;
