Opaque and transparent materials differ between the amount of light that passes through it. Opaque materials do not allow any light to pass through. Transparent materials allow all or most light through.

He painted a thick glass wall. The color was opaque red.
The only problem that I see, if it was meant to be opaque, is that you can't see through it, which defeats the purpose of a window. If you are trying to make/buy clear glass, impurities within the glass would not allow light to pass through as easily and I imagine that this might make the glass weaker and less useful.
Translucent.
Toughened glass is transparent. It is translucent if frosted. To be opaque, it would need to be covered with something that won't let light through.
If the sun can get through but no one can see in then the room is glass opaque. An opaque room will prevent others from seeing in.
Imports - foodstuffs, hides, agricultural produce. Exports - timber, dyes, glass, metals, slaves.
No, such a transparent metal is not possible. Metals are a conductor of electricity. As a result of this, electromagnetic waves of the wavelength of light cannot penetrate it.
