Namespace and Form issue

When i use a form under a translate-namespace directive i couldn’t access my form from $scope in my controller, But he is happening in $scope.$$childHead instead. this is not a very welcome behavior. is it a normal behavior ?

version of angular-translate : 2.15.2 version of angular : 1.6.4

HTML

<div translate-namespace=".myComponentName">
     <form name="myFormName" action="" novalidate>
                <input type="email" required/>
     </form>
</div>

JS

function controller($scope){
      if($scope.$$childHead.myFormName.$valid){
      //do someting
      }
}

Personally, I would recommend the last option, because I would always try not using $scope indirectly but a controller scope whenever it is possible. Well, yes, app (controller scope) is $scope.app actually, but I hope you got the point. That’s much more like Angular2 apps would be, and ensure data access is always being “with a dot”.

I agree, i didn’t know we are able to do that, your last suggestion is just perfect 👍
