Suppose $f\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^d)$, $Λ\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ is a finite union of translated lattices such that $f+Λ$ tiles with a weight. We prove that there exists a lattice $L\subset{\mathbb{R}}^d$ such that $f+L$ also tiles, with a possibly different weight. As a corollary, together with a result of Kolountzakis, it implies that any convex polygon that multi-tiles the plane by translations admits a lattice multi-tiling, of a possibly different multiplicity. Our second result is a new characterization of convex polygons that multi-tile the plane by translations. It also provides a very efficient criteria to tell whether a convex polygon admits translational multi-tilings. As an application, one can easily construct symmetric $(2m)$-gons, for any $m\geq 4$, that do not multi-tile by translations. Finally, we prove a convex polygon which is not a parallelogram only admits periodic multiple tilings, if any.
