@jatobiasng Yes, they’re synonyms but “möchten” is a bit more polite (since it’s like saying “would like to”) while “will” is a bit more demanding (since it means “want to”). I can understand that google translate gave you the same translation for both words since their meanings are similar. But they are used according to the situation differently.

wollen kommt von dem Willen
wollen
beabsichtigen/ entschlossen sein
Ich will das Geld.
Sie will die Anerkennung.
Wir wollen alles.
Möchten kommt von mögen.
Wenn man etwas möchte, aber auch wenn man etwas will, sollte man es mit einem "bitte" verbinden.
Beide können als Synonyme verwendet werden, wobei ich finde, dass möchten zurückhaltender und höflicher ist.
Wir möchten beide
Wir möchten bitte beide
Wir wollen beide
Wir wollen bitte beide
Ich will, hat etwas von einem Befehl.
Ich möchte, sagt so etwas wie, ich hätte es gerne.
