 Solution

Use normalized Fourier analysis on a finite abelian group, identifying $A$ with its indicator function $a=1_A$ on the cyclic group ${\mathbb{Z}}_n$. The conventions areThe last operation is normalized convolution on a finite group. With these conventions the Fourier coefficients on a finite abelian group use a normalized average, while sums over frequencies use counting measure.

Expanding the normalized convolution on a finite group and putting $z=x-y$ givesFor the translation of a function $g(x)=f(x-u)$, putting $z=x-u$ yieldsThe two transforms are thereforeThe negative sign in the translation factor follows from the negative sign in our Fourier coefficient on a finite abelian group convention.
