Do you actually know Traditional Chinese input methods such as Changjie/DaYi/Array because if you don't its pretty much useless/impossible and the learning curve is steep. I'm quite sure you cannot type in Traditional with pinyin. Those weird things/glyphs you see with the Taiwan input is called bopomofo, its their phonetic system.

[i'm lagging yo]

yea if you know bo-po-mo-fo then you can input it that way...

and as a matter of fact you can type traditional via hanyu pinyin if you learned proper pinyin formatting.

you have to make sure you chose Chinese (Taiwan) in the language list. under the keyboard layout choose "Microsoft New Phonetic IME 2002a". go to the settings and you can edit your input options.

Hey, at least you know what you typed (I hope)
I don't recognize those characters

But I know you can enter things in Pinyin its just a matter of figuring out the pinyin and selecting the correct character.

(processs to set it up is similar to the stickie at the top for korean input)

You could also use CantoInput to type in Traditional with pinyin. I actually use jyutping for Cantonese but I didn't realize it'd work with pinyin as well.
