How do you write in Chinese with a keyboard/computer?

You write the pinyin and the language setting then changes the full words to the Chinese characters. I can only really explain it with Japanese, since that's what I use.

Regular Microsoft Word document, QWERTY keyboard, and Windows language bar set to Japanese.

On the keybord, I type watashi. The software automatically changes this to わたし as I am typing. To change this to Chinese characters (Kanji), I press space and it turns into 私. In case that isn't the character I want to use, I can keep pressing space to cycle through all possible kanji combinations that make out "watashi", such as 渡し. So this is essentially how Latin letters turn into Chinese characters.

Hope this helps somewhat.

I have never figured out how they use computers in China and Taiwan. How do they type ideograms? Keyboards are alphabetic, so how do they use them to type Chinese?
