Any Latin Scholars?

Post #1 n8uristTextile

I'm trying to come up with a motto in Latin, and I would like a reality check on Google Translate.
The motto is: In Nudity, (There is) Joy
Google is coming back with:in nuditate, sequitur eos gaudium
Is this correct? Is there a better, perhaps more succinct translation? Looking for a Latin scholar to help me. (I took both Greek and Latin, but I can't remember either -- sorry Mom and Dad!)
Cheers,
Mike

Whilst having studied Latin for three years, many years ago, I certainly do not profess to being a Latin scholar, but might not simply the appropriate motto format be to simply leave out the "there is".in nuditate, gaudium

Ok so this is what I'm talking about: turns out that while "nuditas" translates to nudity, "nuditate" can be interpreted as "exposure," and I definitely don't want to go there. So unless there are any other Latin scholars out there who would disagree, I think I'm going to go with "gaudium in nuditas."

Why not have your motto as: de vestibus libertatis (freedom from clothes)

Why not have your motto as: de vestibus libertatis (freedom from clothes)Hmm, I like that one as well. But I wanted to get "happiness" or "joy" in there somewhere, as that is the feeling that said freedom from clothes give one!
