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.
By the way, LibreOffice seems to have a couple of Chinese fonts installed, I am not sure I need to install additional fonts for the OS?
Once you get it running, you can see. Possibly not.
