oh, that's tough :(

'какого ж морфеуса' - [livejournal.com profile] silpol already suggested, quite correctly, 'what the heck' (could be also 'what the fcak'). but both cases are not a literate translation - i'd have to use another word, like 'какого ж хрена?', for example, to make 'what the heck'.

what i am doing here is inventing a look-alike expression, using the word 'морфеус' which refers in this context (wires & plugs) to matrix' morfeus.

so, translating literally, it should be something like 'o, what the morfeus they created/invented all these bloody wires!'.

finally, i use 'проводень' instead of normal 'провода', 'wires'. again, it is not a regular word, it is a neword of a kind, referring to 'хрень' ('shit', 'stuff'). [livejournal.com profile] silpol suggests wirez; perhaps 'wireshit' can go? or something like that.

tough case.

I think we have to teach these translators some slang :)
