[angularjs] AngularJs: Reload page

window object is made available through $window service for easier testing and mocking, you can go with something like:

$scope.reloadPage = function(){$window.location.reload();}

And :

<a ng-click="reloadPage"  class="navbar-brand" title="home"  data-translate>PORTAL_NAME</a>

As a side note, i don't think $route.reload() actually reloads the page, but only the route.
