Thank you, I just discovered your post. I just installed fcitx-pinyin to try out.
These days, I use fcitx-anthy on CentOS (which took some work to set up,
but ibus-anthy, at least, (for Japanese) worked pretty well. I have
instructions, again, for Japanese, but quite possibly applicable at
http://srobb.net/jpninpt.html#CentOS6
I'm going to add that a quick look through pkgs.org shows that CentOS-7x
does have packages for fcitx-pinyin and a few other Chinese engines, and it
might be worth considering making the switch. It seems (general impression
on my part) to be replacing ibus in a lot of places, in the same way ibus
gradually replaced scim.
Still have not solved my problem above, i.e., after installing fcitx I can switch between US English and a European language but not to Chinese.
I run the Mate Desktop on CentOS 7 and the configuration tool for fcitx that has been installed in the Settings Panel complains that a fcitx-config/fcitx-configtool program is missing.
I have not been able to find that program on the 'net and am hoping someone else - anyone - is using fcitx for input of an Asian language in CentOS7/Mate...
Yes, me, as mentioned above.
Ok, do this, which is also described on my page under some other
distributions.
Quit X.
Go into ~/.config/fcitx.
Edit profile, looking for pinyan:False. Change that False to True and
startx again. It should then show as available.
I think, when I decided to use fcitx on CentOS-7, I already knew about this
method so never even looked for configtool.

Once you get it running, you can see. Possibly not.
Scott, great, thank you very much! Changing the pinyin setting to true from false allowed me to use pinyin to type Chinese into a terminal window. One correction, though, the setting is not in ~/.config/fcitx but in ~/.config/profile.
I only had time for a very quick test of typing pinyin into a blank LibreOffice document since I am leaving on a trip. This did not work, however.
How do I get this working? In the font selection listbox there are a couple of - ugly-looking - simplified Chinese fonts but I could not get it to work. Do you have any suggestions here?
