This method works for me:
1. remove then reinstall ibus:
sudo apt-get purge ibus
sudo apt-get install ibus
2. install missing components:
open "language support" *it will automatically check if there is anything
missing from your already installed languages
install missing components following the instructions
3. install components that happened to be deleted when you removed ibus:
open Synaptic Package Manager
Install following components:
ibus-table
ubuntu-desktop
unity-control-center
unity-control-center-signon
webaccounts-extension-common
xul-ext-webaccounts
Pretty sure there are better ways to do it. I'm not familiar with those
command line stuff lol.

Title:
chinese ibus pinyin input produces non-corresponding characters
Status in “ibus-pinyin” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)
Release: 14.04
ibus-pinyin:
Installed: 1.5.0-1ubuntu1
Candidate: 1.5.0-1ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 1.5.0-1ubuntu1 0
500 http://mirror.it.ubc.ca/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Installed language support, ibus, and added Chinese(Pinyin) through
the "Text Entry Settings".
When typing in "pinyin" the Chinese characters produced do not
correspond to what was typed in pinyin. Instead it looks like the
keyboard is following the bopomofo or zhuyin method.
