On my version here, it's ~/.config/fcitx/profile, but regardless, glad you
found it--there may be differences between the Chinese and Japanese
version.

As for libreoffice, you might look under tools, options, languages and see
what the default Asian is. 

If that doesn't do it try something like
XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx libreoffice
and see if that works.

(I don't use the CentOS package for libreoffice, I get the latest from
their site. )
