IIRC, translucency is akin to specularity but don't quote me on it. Unfortunately, Physical Surface Node has no provision for a direct translucent node. What are you trying to achieve?

Here's the difference between transparent and translucent: When light encounters transparent materials, almost all of it passes directly through them. Glass, for example, is transparent to all visible light. Translucent objects allow some light to travel through them. Materials like frosted glass and some plastics are called translucent.

As for the Physical Surface node in Poser, you can plug the Translucent node into the Volume node connection. In fact, in many cases with Poser, the nodes will only allow you to plug into the correct connections. Here's an example: You want to plug the Translucent node into the Physical Surface Root node. But if you'll notice all the connections are greyed out except volume.
