I found this sentence in Tatoeba, and, based on my understanding, the
translation would be "He doesn't like", however everyone translated it as "I
don't like him". Why??

The は particle indicates that the main topic of the sentence is 彼. So "好きじゃない"
is something that 彼 does, not "I". It should be 彼が if the meaning would be "I
don't like him".

Who is correct?

**Edit:**  
I found this sentence as is on Tatoeba, It wasn't me who created it. The
culprit for the lack of context is the Japanese (or not) who created it.

What is the real correct translation of "彼は好きじゃない"?
There are two basic argument structures for the predicate 好{す}き(だ):

> Ａ **が** Ｂ **が** 好き（だ） ← Traditional form  
>  Ａ **が** Ｂ **を** 好き（だ） ← Innovative form
>
> * * *
>
> Ａ ＝ subject  
>  Ｂ ＝ object†

Of course, you won't often see sentences in this exact form:

  1. It's possible to omit one or both arguments. 
  2. In a matrix clause, unless you have a good reason to use the case marker が for the subject, you'll usually replace it with something like the focus particle は (or in informal speech, simply leave the particle out).
  3. It's also possible to replace the case marker on the _object_ with a focus particle, for example to show contrast, or to omit it in informal speech.

Based on 2, we might arrive at a basic sentence pattern:

> Ａ **は** Ｂ **が** 好き（だ）

But we should keep in mind that this isn't the basic structure―it's just what
we get when we apply topicalization to the subject. And although it's common
to topicalize the subject, **the focus particle は doesn't actually mark a
subject specifically** ; it can be applied to other constituents, and it often
is.

When one argument has been omitted, it's possible that the remaining argument
could be the subject or the object. Most commonly, it will be understood as
the object, and the omitted subject will be understood as referring to the
speaker. But that isn't necessarily the _only_ correct interpretation―in the
right context, the remaining argument could be understood as the subject.

There are other hints, too:

  1. If the only overt argument is marked with ～のこと, it must be the object, not the subject. This happens fairly often with 好き(だ). 
  2. If the only overt argument is inanimate, then it must be the object, as 好き(だ) only makes sense with an animate subject.

If you pay attention to hints like these and to the surrounding context, the
correct interpretation should be clear most of the time.

Your question is impossible to answer because you have not provided any
context - you have not told us what was said before 彼は好きじゃない. It could mean
the following:

  1. I don't like him (but I do like someone else).

In this case the は particle serves to compare 彼 with someone else. The fact
that 私 is the person speaking is hidden.

  2. He doesn't like it.

Here, what 'it' is is known from the context of the surrounding conversation.
'It' could be apples, you, me, anything.

Just a suggestion, Japanese is highly contextual. You have to know what was
said before in order to know the 'real correct' translation of something.
Using a tool like Tatoeba which gives you single sentences with other people's
translations based on what they think is the surrounding context will cause
you confusion.

Step by step.

> _What is the real correct translation of “彼は好きじゃない”?_

It totally depends on context. If you talk about possibility, it could mean
any of "(I/you/he/she/it/we/they) do(es)n't like him." or "He doesn't like
(me/you/him/her/it/us/them)". But the probable interpretations I think without
preceding context would be "I don't like him.", "He doesn't like it." and "He
doesn't like them."

> _The は particle indicates that the main subject of the sentence is 彼._

It's but a misunderstanding. As you see, snailboat has already written a great
answer that make it ever clearest. So は doesn't tell anything about whether it
should be subject or object here.

> _everyone translated it as "I don't like him". Why??_

Maybe only me, but if I were one of them, I'd definitely do the same thing.
Remember, although it happens to make some weird structure and be translated
into English "like", 好きだ is an _adjective_ , literally means "favorable".
Thus, the first impression we get from 「彼は好きじゃない」 is hardly different from
that of 「彼は良くない」 or 「彼は親切じゃない」. If the example were something like 「彼は嫌っていない」,
it'd have more chance that native speakers' judgments would split up.
