Tested and functions as described.
Thank you

Just trying to better understand the purge function, so it's usage is mostly for caching situations with modifications? The message in the screen shot is what led me to this conclusion.

@wilsonge
truncateTable implemented. Thanks

@JoshuaLewis
The overrider table is ONLY a cache table storing the strings for the language targeted (it does not contain the overrides created in language/overrides/xx-XX.override.ini) .
It is deleted and refilled when clicking in the search field.
See method refresh()
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/administrator/components/com_languages/models/strings.php#L26

What happens is that this table can become very heavy if overrides were created for many languages.
When moving the site and database, the table contains wrong path for the files containing the language strings. They are normally refreshed the first time one clicks in the search field.

I could not reproduce here the issue described by @coolman01 but it is not a big deal to add a Purge button for that table for people who have issues.

I know the table is called Overrider but thats not really English so can you change the message to use either the word override or overrides.

Thanks guys, especially @infograf768 for your support here.

Shall we let CMS maintainers decide about that? The table is called "overrider" and does not contain any override. Changing the name would create a confusion as it could be understood that the table contains the overrides.
Coca-Cola or Joomla! are not English either...

Fair enough and I see that the word table is in the string so I guess it is
OK (I was checking on my phone before which isn't so easy)

Please add a period at the end of the string to be in line with the ;en-GB
language style guide
