Proven functionality in the supported environment (Lingo REL1_39 (3.2.0) on MW REL1_39 with a compatible version of PHP).
I have been searching and cannot figure this one out. Lingo is operational but when I run update.php I get this:
PHP Deprecated: Use of Hooks::register was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.35. [Called from Lingo\BasicBackend::registerHooks in /var/www/mediawiki/extensions/Lingo/src/BasicBackend.php at line 58] in /var/www/mediawiki/includes/debug/MWDebug.php on line 386
Any idea?

It is just a PHP warning that gets thrown if your current version of MediaWiki is v1.35 or over but your version of Lingo lingers behind. Your best bet is to upgrade Lingo.
To judge by https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Lingo/blob/master/src/BasicBackend.php, the extension uses hooks correctly. The change hasn't been backported to the 1.36-1.38 branches though, maybe because it is only a deprecation warning, not an error. Or maybe it was just an oversight.
It is fixed in REL1_39 (LTS) according to the extension compatibility policy (ltsrel): https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Lingo/blob/c88549b25caa48012b915c150115c7100ded82be/src/BasicBackend.php#L56C1-L60C3
If you are on MW 1.39, please checkout REL1_39 branch, rather than a tag.
If you are running MW < 1.39, just ignore the message, as mentioned by @Cavila, it is just a deprecation warning and will go away with the upgrade to 1.39.
As for MW 1.35, it went end-of-life on December 21, 2023.
It actually only pops this error when I use VisualEditor. I disable Lingo when I need to use that extension and then have no issues.
@GobleStL Please, make sure that you have PHP error reporting off in your LocalSettings.php and repeat testing. In case of failure, please share your current MW version number + PHP version, so that we could try to reproduce the error. A link to your LocalSettings.php will also be very helpful (just wipe the sensitive info out).
With error reporting on: "[58a6c0d657e09eaaaf0dc77c] Exception caught: Typed property Parser::$mOutput must not be accessed before initialization"
With error reporting off: "[addf778021d79e091496ce38] Caught exception of type Error"
This only pops up when I attempt to use VisualEditor. Lingo works just fine.
If I disable Lingo extension, VisualEditor opens without an error. I believe it is related to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T357686
In troubleshooting this I upgraded everything. I even started using dev branches. (The error started when on stable branch). Currently I am:

We only support LTS branches of MediaWiki. You can try the REL1_39 branch's code and it might work with 1.41. Probably unrelated, running MediaWiki with version 8.3 might cause issues.
Thank you. I realize this. This is why I just disable the extension when I want to use VisualEditor.
