My experience may not be relevant as its FC4 rather than CentOS, but I hope 
it may help.

I have a Fedora Core 4 machine which has an English UI but allows a choice 
of English and/or Japanese input.

I can quite happily switch between inputting in English and Japanese using 
the iimf.
I followed the instructions here 
http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/i18n/iiimf-faq.html

When I have time I could re-install CentOS4 and try to achieve the same 
level of functionality
