A material which partially transmits light & partially scatters it:

When light passes through a transparent medium such as plain glass, it is neither reflected nor absorbed but totally transmitted through.   A translucent material, on the other hand, gains its transmitted color by the resultant spectrum it transmits. As a beam of light passes through a translucent material such as glass, it can be changed by adding fine particles that scatter the light giving a milky appearance.
