Robolectric now includes an @Config annotation that you can put on your unit tests to specify things like this. See here for more info.

Here is what did when unit tests involve locale:

Get the context from Robolectric
Use the context to getString (singular/plural forms) to construct expected strings directly.
Check it against the output from the methods that return strings.
