...or frosted glass, or etched glass, or opaque glass, or privacy glass, or sand blasted glass. I've heard all those names applied to the glass in windows that is designed to let in light but prevent someone outside seeing in. Translucent glass seems to me to be the best name because it best describes the ability to admit light but but prevent anyone looking through it seeing details. The example above is in a toilet/wash-room. Outside, when I took my photograph there was evening light falling on a street with, from the top, blue sky, bricks sunlit and in shade, a blue vehicle, yellow heather, green grass and grey tarmac.
