perhaps you are misunderstanding something? short answer is you don't.
But you do have to use a dimmer that can dim low voltage lights (most can) and also the transformer for the lights must be dimable

I imagine that all it means is that the dimmer has been designed such that it is happy dimming a transformer. Not all "ordinary" dimmers are happy with reactive loads, and those that are may well need to be derated (i.e. assumed to have a lower rating than their nominal one) when used on such loads.
