Let $y \in \mathbb{R}^n$. Let $E \in \mathcal{L}$ and let $\mathbb{I}_E$ be the indicator function for $E$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Results
(i) R2140: Translation of indicator function
(ii) R1242: Unsigned basic integral is compatible with measure
(iii) R1164: Translation invariance of Lebesgue measure

then imply \begin{equation} \begin{split} \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \mathbb{I}_E(x + y) \, d \mu(x) & = \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \mathbb{I}_{E - y}(x) \, d \mu(x) \\ & = \mu(E - y) = \mu(E) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \mathbb{I}_E(x) \, d \mu(x) \end{split} \end{equation} This establishes the claim for measurable indicator functions $\mathbb{R}^n \to \{ 0, 1 \}$. The claim for unsigned functions $\mathbb{R}^n \to [0, \infty]$ then follows by applying the principles in [[[x,125]]]. $\square$
