Let have the stated properties. Translation invariance and the disjoint partition of into intervals of length give
Finite additivity then gives for every positive rational . Continuity from below and above extends this to every real , and translation invariance yields
Hence and agree on the half-open intervals. Both are -finite, so uniqueness of extension gives on the Borel -algebra.
