Three gods A, B, and C are called, in no particular order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter. Your task is to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes-no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language, in which the words for yes and no are da and ja, in some order. You do not know which word means which.

Clarifications:
A single god may be asked more than one question, questions are permitted to depend on the answers to earlier questions, and the nature of Random's response should be thought of as depending on the flip of a fair coin hidden in his brain: if the coin comes down heads, he speaks truly; if tails, falsely.
A woman is sitting in her hotel room when there is a knock at the door. She opened the door to see a man whom she had never seen before. He said "oh I'm sorry, I have made a mistake, I thought this was my room." He then went down the corridor and in the elevator. The woman went back into her room and phoned security. What made the woman so suspicious of the man?

Why would he knock on his own door?

How surprising that --- forgot about O, which represents 46% of earth's crust, vs. ~27% for Si.

He was a manager/waiter/security guard/chef - not a hotel guest who'd have a room

First, you want to know which word means True or False. This means you need a q where the honest and liar answer the same.

I'd ask everyone - "if I asked you if person A was the honest man, what would you say"

If person A is honest, he'll say True, Person B (liar) will say also say True, because he'd have to lie about his original answer which was a lie.

If person B is the honest one, the roles will reverse. Either way, you know at least 2 people will answer True (Da)

Also, the third person MAY say Ja - you know this man is the random answer.

As for who is the liar. Simply ask everyone, is person A the man who always tells the truth. The honest man will answer Da and the liar will answer Ja
