You can enable pinyin-big5.scm by invoking uim-pref-gtk,
and add "Pinyin (Traditional)" to enabled input methods in the Global settings.

It may be convenient for you to check "Specify default IM" and choose
"Pinyin (Traditional)" to Default input method.  If you don't specify
the default IM,
"direct IM" (just passthrough input) is used on en_US.UTF-8.
