Extended Word Similarity Based (EWSB) Clustering is a word clustering algorithm based on the value of words similarity obtained from the computation of a corpus. One of the benefits of clustering with this algorithm is to improve the translation of a statistical machine translation. Previous research proved that EWSB algorithm could improve the Indonesian-English translator, where the algorithm was applied to Indonesian language as target language.This paper discusses the results of a research using EWSB algorithm on a Indonesian to Minang statistical machine translator, where the algorithm is applied to Minang language as the target language. The research obtained resulted that the EWSB algorithm is quite effective when used in Minang language as the target language. The results of this study indicate that EWSB algorithm can improve the translation accuracy by 6.36%.
