Wouldn't one merely need to know what "cube" was? In which case, this is kinda silly.
The possessional "Rubik's" shouldn't really be a variable, so a simple alteration of one word doesn't seem much more than trivial.

See Ranzha.

Wiki page, anyone? I would make it, but I don't know the best format to use. (General translation page? One just for the cube? Put it on some existing page? A new page on linguistics?)

In Hindi/Marathi/(almost all languages which use Devnagari (देवनागरी) Script ) :
रुबिक्स क्यूब
Pronunciation:
Rubik's Cube

Most the words derived from english don't have any 'Translated' version in Hindi/Marathi. Even If there exists, Generally the original english noun is used normally as it has become widely accepted.

Example:
Cell phone
In Hindi/Marathi : भ्रमणध्वनी
Pronunciation: Bhru-mun-Dhvā-nee
(Pronounce u /un as in 'un'known and ā as in gamm'a' and nee as knee )

Cheers!
