Use $\hat{f}(t)=\int f(x)e^{-itx}dx$ and its extension to square-integrable functions. For $T_{k}f(x)=f(x+k)$, changing variables gives $\widehat{T_{k}f}(t)=e^{ikt}\hat{f}(t)$. The Plancherel theorem therefore givesFor an arbitrary square-integrable $f$, the translation identity follows by approximation by integrable square-integrable functions: translations are isometries in $L^2$ and the Fourier transform is continuous in the Plancherel norm. The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality makes the product on the left integrable, and $|\hat{f}{|}^2$ is integrable on the right.

Put $m=l-k$. Every unequal integer pair gives a nonzero integer $m$, and every nonzero integer arises, for example with $k=0,l=m$. The identity thus proves both directions of the requested equivalence. It is the orthogonality of integer translates criterion. A different Fourier normalization changes only the nonzero constant factor, not the vanishing conditions.
