Google Translate now shows synonyms
How do I use google translate as a thesaurus?
I would recommend using a dual language dictionary specifically for your target language. Reverso is also decent for providing synonyms and phrases with context for many languages.

Looking for translation & synonyms API similar to translate.google.com
sometimes it happens to act like one, but I do not know how to make it act like one on purpose
No, you cannot get the synonyms and examples along with the translated text.As currently they have only 3 methods in the Translate API.The 3 methods are detections.list, languages.list and translations.list. So i think it would be great if you make a feature request for this API at PIT of AppEngine.
Pearson released their free API which includes examples, part of speech, and synonyms. Check it out: http://developer.pearson.com/apis/dictionaries
