The name of the coordinate system in the data can be retrieved using the CoordinateSystemExtractor transformer.

Using that name, go to the menu Tools > Browse Coordinate Systems.

Using the properties button you can view the settings for the coordinate system of your choice:

Additionally, you can use the CoordinateSystemDescriptionConverter to convert an FME coordinate system identifier which is extracted by the CoordinateSystemExtractor to its detailed description with OGC WKT or Esri WKT format.

I often use the following method, which is similar to the @erik_jan's method, but it may be faster.

 

Set a breakpoint, click on the coordinate system text in the Feature Inspector, and the coordinate information window will be displayed.

 

Of course, you can also use the FME Data Inspector to directly view the data, and then use the above method.

 

But I personally prefer to use breakpoints because it is displayed when reading the first feature. This method saves time if the data volume is large.
