Magnifying glass is transparent
In optics, transparency is the property of allowing light to pass. Transparent materials can be seen through; that is, they allow clear images to pass. The opposite property is opacity. Translucent materials allow light to pass through them only diffusely, that is, the material distorts the image. Also known as diaphaneity, a commonly used term in mineralogy.
Light travels through the lens of a magnifying glass without being distorted. That is why you can see what is on the other side.

A magnifying glass is transparent. Transparent means the light goes through, light needs to go through to use the glass. Traslucent lets some of the light through, but you can not see through it(like a frosted window).
