The accepted answer is unnecessarily complicated. Just open a Ruby file in Sublime Text 2, then:

Preferences -> Settings - More -> Syntax Specific - User

This will create a new file called Ruby.sublime-settings in the Packages/User directory and open it for you. If the file already exists it will just be opened for editing. Now you just need to type in your preferred settings and save.

Yes. You can create syntax specific settings files. Make a file named Javascript.sublime-settings and save it in Packages/Javascript.

Then add: 

{
  "tab_size": 4,
  "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true
}

For more information, check out the this page from the docs: http://readthedocs.org/docs/sublime-text-unofficial-documentation/en/latest/customization/settings.html
