A potential job offer says:
Selection process:
1. We need any previous translation sample in Marketing domain Source file + translated file

Not all NDAs would disallow this sort of thing. Plus, if you anonymize the text, some believe that even despite an NDA it would be safe to send the files.

If they've been published & freely available, a link to the source and a link to the translation should suffice (with a note if they were reviewed/modified by a 3rd party before publication).
