Hi, I do not know how the GIZA++ option of using a dictionary works, I have never tried it. But a very common way of using a dictionary is to include it as additional parallel training data. You could even weight it more strongly by adding it multiple times (or fiddle with the sentence count value in the .snt file, as you mention).
