useTranslation doesn't return content

[augustomallmann]

Hi, I'm struggling implementing the next-i18next on my website. The problem happens when I try to get the translation content, it only outputs the file name. Details below:

When I try to get a content inside a component, it returns only the file name:

import { useTranslation } from 'next-i18next'

export const Footer = () => {
    const { t } = useTranslation('common')
    const footer = t('footer', { returnObjects: true })
    console.log(footer) //outputs only `footer` instead of the object thats in `common.json`
    return (
        <>Footer</>
    );
}

My locale folders are in /public/locales.
// ./public/locales/en/common.json:
